Gardening Hot Peppers and more! | baus grows

Letter D of the Alphabet of Heat

This is possibly Florida’s most famous pepper…and I’ve never had it. I also had no idea on the proper pronunciation, which is a common occurrence on my YouTube channel. This pepper has a great flavor and does not let you down on the heat! Grew some 6 year old seeds and excited to share the pepper with you all! Check the video for the full review.

Very tangy and sweet, citrus flavors as soon as you bite in. Juicy and crunchy with a heat that shows up pretty quickly. Excellent flavors for pickling or using in salsa/hot sauce. Pungent but not long burning.
