AS PEPPERS PROLIFERATE in supermarkets, gardens,
and magazine recipes, a little guidance is necessary to help
figure out which pepper is which and what to do with them.
Our Pepper Profiles are not meant to be a definitive study on
each pepper but rather a simple, easy to read thumb-nail
sketch, including interesting facts and history of each pepper.
We also provide a glossary of terms, a Pepperology
relating to the subject of chiles,a history of
peppers and also a listing of Peppered Products
that are carried in the Mo Hotta-Mo Betta catalog that are
made from each of the peppers. This section will be
expanding over time, so if there are any particular peppers
you think we should make a priority to profile, please let
us know by writing to
mohotta@mohotta.com.
We welcome any comments or questions.
THANKS to the following books and writers who undoubtedly know their chile peppers. For further research on this subject we suggest you read any or all of these excellent sources of chile knowledge.
