UNIQUE CREEK HOMESTEAD SEEDS: All of our seeds are grown right here on our Unique Creek Homestead and not sourced from elsewhere. All seeds are collected each growing season and are 1-year old or less, stored in air-tight Mason jars. Seeds are harvested and labeled for storage each season, one plant/seed type at a time so seeds do not get mixed by accident during the process! The seeds we use at the start of each growing season come from the exact same seeds we sell.
OUR GUARANTEE: You will ALWAYS receive more seeds than what you order, as I always include extras. If you are unhappy with your order for any reason, please message us KINDLY with your issue.
ABOUT THESE SEEDS: PACK OF 25-SEEDS Scoville heat units (SHU): 20,000 – 30,000
Jalapeño reference point: 3 to 12 times hotter Origin: India / Grown in Seymour, Indiana
It’s impossible to enjoy authentic Indian cuisine, especially authentic curries, without partaking in the Jwala pepper. Also known as the Indian finger hot pepper, the Jwala is the most popular hot pepper in India, and as such it’s used in all sorts of spicy foods, both as a fresh chili as well as dried. This chili provides a very eatable medium heat to meals.
How hot are Jwala peppers?
The term “Jwala” in Sanskrit means “an intense flame”, and the chili does have a decent kick to fit the name. At 20,000 to 30,000 Scoville heat units, Jwala are somewhere in-between a spicier serrano and a mild cayenne in overall heat. Though some varieties can be hotter. When compared to our jalapeño reference point, Jwala peppers are between three and twelve times spicier than a jalapeño pepper. It’s a solid medium heat, at the upper end of “eatable” for those only moderately inclined to spicy foods.
Sow seeds in flats or pots 8 to 10 weeks prior to the expected outdoor planting date. Sow them shallowly, around 1/4 inch deep. Hot peppers, and especially super-hot peppers, have a well-earned reputation for being finicky to germinate, but you can increase germination rates by providing bottom heat (highly suggested).
