Bitter pepper (hot) «Peter pepper» - this plant of the nightshade family has a growing season of 100 days from the moment the seedlings are planted. The Peter's Finger pepper culture forms a powerful bush, up to 120 cm high. The pods are drooping, 7-16 cm long, and have a characteristic phallic shape. They will appeal to true connoisseurs of thrills. The average length is 10 centimeters, the diameter is up to 2 centimeters, the pungency is 10 000 - 30 000 on the Scoville scale.
Thanks to the phallic shape of the pods, it has gained wide popularity and won several awards, including the title of the most pornographic pepper in the world from Organic Gardening magazine. Peter's Finger, especially the red variety, is often described as a miniature version of an uncircumcised male penis, and is therefore also called Chili Willy, or simply penis pepper. Each pod of Peter's Finger is covered with folded, bumpy skin and has a rounded tip with a cleft.
With its bright, pronounced taste, it is very reminiscent of jalapeño, but it is about nine times hotter and a little sweeter. Peter's Finger can be added to any dish that includes jalapeño in the recipe, and can even be used as a substitute for serrano, to which it is close in spiciness.
It is quite difficult to work with in the kitchen. Chili Willy produces a hot oil and contact with its fresh fruit can cause burns. When grinding the dried fruits of this pepper, a fine, almost invisible powder is formed, which irritates the skin and can even cause suffocation. In general, Peter Pepper has not found widespread use in cooking and is mostly consumed only in pickled form. It is usually grown for decorative purposes, for its exotic fruits.
Can also be pronounced as Peter, Petra's Pepper, Peter Pepper, pepper penis, pepper member, Chili Willy, chilli member, chilli wili, chilli willy.
