Red Hot Cherry Pepper seeds
Red hot cherry peppers are the perfect balance of sweet and spicy! These are the size of a cherry and have thick red skin. Red Hot cherry peppers have a fruity flavor that dances with a pleasant heat level that can range from 2500 to 5000 SHU Scoville units. The heat level will depend on the demography, soil type, and climate they are grown. These are hotter than your traditional chili but not nearly as spicy as a scotch bonnet or a Carolina reaper. These are a great way to graduate to the next level of spice if you are getting acclimated to spicer food. These are great for pickling since their thick skins can hold up to the process.
