Скачать или смотреть Capsicum flexuosum - a very rare wild pepper!

Many thanks go to Christopher Phillips for sending me this extremely rare wild Capsicum species.

The aromas on this pepper are so different, it`s very hard to describe, but they smell a little sweet, slightly of vanilla and surprisingly, of White Sapote fruit. There`s a creaminess and slight tough of really lovely bitterness to the aromas.

The texture of this pepper was also unique. The flesh was very similar to a grape, certainly a lot less than a grape, but that same kind of texture.

The overall flavour was an amazing mix. Slightly unripe Banana, a little tannic, tropical fruity, similar to the flavor of a ripe papaya, a touch of vanilla and then some green grass and very mild Jamaican Jerk spice. Just incredible flavours that I absolutely loved.

The heat was a big surprise. These little things pack quite a good bit of heat. Roughly between that of a Jalapeño and Cayenne. Far more than I expected, that`s for sure!

I feel so incredibly lucky and truly honored to eat this kind of pepper. Not only is it incredibly rare, but it is incredibly delicious!!!
