It is a toasty little red critter, 50,000 to 75,000 Scoville units\u2026reminding me of Tabasco in heat. This is an easy-to-grow variety, and I have grown it successfully in the ground and in 5 gal grow bags.<br \/>\nI have read that these peppers are most commonly used to make a condiment called Hawaiian chili pepper water. It is used in restaurants and at home for any dish that needs a little bit of heat. I saw that it is used on poi, and from my memory of tasting poi, I can imagine that the Hawaiian pepper water would perk up the flavor nicely. And so\u2026you may be wondering how to make this condiment. I am sure there are variations, but this is a nice recipe: <em>https:\/\/www.snackhawaii.com\/blogs\/recipes\/hawaiian-chili-pepper-water-recipe<br \/>\nINGREDIENTS<br \/>\n\u2022 1 cup water<br \/>\n\u2022 1\/4 cup vinegar<br \/>\n\u2022 About 8 garlic cloves<br \/>\n\u2022 1 tsp Hawaiian Salt<br \/>\n\u2022 As many Hawaiian Chili Peppers as you can handle (8-20)<br \/>\n\u2022 A dash of shoyu (optional)<br \/>\nINSTRUCTIONS<br \/>\n1. Mash your garlic, Hawaiian Chili Peppers and Hawaiian salt lightly with a mortar and pestle.<br \/>\n2. Boil your vinegar and water and then pour over all other ingredients into a clean sterilized glass bottle.<br \/>\n3. Let cool and add a dash of shoyu if you like that extra saltiness. Refrigerate after a day or so. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>As you can imagine, the longer the pepper water sits, the stronger it gets. I recommend this chile for anyone who likes to add spice to their food on the plate, and for anyone who usually has a little trouble growing peppers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":16000,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[69,97,12],"product_tag":[112],"class_list":{"0":"post-15999","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-medium-very-hot","7":"product_cat-special-humidity-and-heat-tolerant-collection","8":"product_cat-bunny-hop-seeds","9":"product_tag-new-for-2023","11":"first","12":"outofstock","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"purchasable","15":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/15999","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16000"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15999"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=15999"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=15999"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=15999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
