Pepper ‘Hinkelhatz’ Yellow – Hot

$4.50

When you think “Pennsylvania Dutch” hot peppers don’t immediately come to mind, but here is an old heirloom that was mentioned as early as 1832.

Hinkelhatz means chicken heart in Pennsylvania Dutch and was used in pickling or in hot sauces. This is the yellow very rare strain. Approximately habanero levels of heat which is coveted by those heat lovers for sauces and fire cider.  Little nuance to its flavour, making it perfect for its main uses among the Pennsylvania Dutch – as a chili for pickling and hot pepper vinegar.

approx 25 seeds

Description

Start peppers indoors 8 – 10 weeks before your frost free date. Sow seeds .5 cm deep and keep warm (27-32˚C). Peppers like it warm! Hot peppers take longer to get going than sweet peppers.
