African Piquin Yellow
A hot C. annuum, 40,000 to 60,000 SHU. The pods stand upright, 0.5 to 1 inches long, green going to yellow, small and bullet-shaped with thin walls. Plants reach 24 to 30 inches with white flowers.
A small, bushy plant that sets an enormous crop. Hundreds of little elongated pods have skins thin enough to air-dry with no fuss, and the flavour is good.
Universal Pepper Nomenclature
One code for one pepper, no matter what people call it. Universal Pepper Nomenclature sits behind the names people use and describes the pepper itself: the species, the color it ripens to, its skin, the shape of the pod, and how hot it runs. The last three digits tell apart peppers that match on all of that.
Six parts, always in this order, always split by hyphens. The WikiPepper Foundation issues every code.
