TOO HOT Hot Peppers

Ok I have been researching the hot pepper.......I am still learning....I read a lot about the habenero's......I also read that the Caribbean Red Hot is hotter than the habenero's ...tell me your opinion of the Caribbean Red Hot.....I have a dozen of the plants in my garden and they have not turned red yet and are already hotter than all hell......so what do you think

The Pope

Hey Pope,

My opinion is that some habaneros will beat out the Caribbean Hot and some Caribbean Hots will beat out Habeneros.  It depends on the strain and whether the hotness has been bred down genetically to a lesser degree of burn on the tongue. 

All I know for sure is that I can't tolerate much more than the tingle left by a jalapeno, but I'm glad you have the fire power to tolerate both habeneros and Caribbean hots!

Enjoy,

Desi
