Achard

A member of the C. annuum group. Ripens to red, long/tapered pods. Packs 8,000–25,000 SHU (solid heat — enough to make you pay attention). USDA GRIN holds this as PI 640826 (Grif 15776), Capsicum annuum 'Achar' from India, recorded as a cayenne type. Achar is the Hindi word for pickle, so the name describes a use rather than a single variety.
