Anaheim Pepper Seed- a Mild and Versatile California Chili The Anaheim pepper is a versatile chili pepper named for the city that made it popular, Anaheim, California. It is mild in flavor and heat, measuring 500-2,500 Scoville Heat Units. Capsicum Annuum The Anaheim pepper is a mild, medium-sized chili pepper that grows to 6-10 inches in length. It is often used for cooking and recipes when green, though it can be used when red. The basic variety ripens to a dark green/reddish color, but other strains ripen to full red. They are one of the most common chili peppers in the United States and are used in many foods and recipes. Maturity: 75-80 Days Anaheim peppers are sometimes called "New Mexico Chilies" or "Hatch Chili Peppers" because they come from New Mexico originally. The story goes that they arrived in California because one farmer named Emilio Ortega brought the seeds to Anaheim in the early 1900s. If you were to pick Anaheim peppers while they're green, they would be called "Seco del Norte" or "Verde del Norte." Red Anaheim peppers are usually called California red chiles, or chili Colorado. Red varieties can be strung together and dried to make ristras. =s=s=s=s=s=s=s=ss==s=s=ss==ss=s==s=s=s=s Seed Shipping: Free to US and Canada Low Shipping fee- no matter how many seeds you order!
