  I’d love to see one comparing ripe versions of many different varieties

  Would be nice to see a follow-up video where you try different varieties prepared as well (sautéed, roasted, pickled, etc).

  Enjoyed the video but would've enjoyed it more if instead of just unripe you'd compared an unripe and a properly ripe of each so you could judge its fully ripe taste/heat

  The lemon spice was the only jalapeño I did this year did not regret it

  It would have been interesting to end the test with a brief comparison of the ripe vs the unripe otherwise, since I like to stuff them, I think I&apos;ll try the Goliath if I can find them. Nice video. <br>Oh yeah, my cayenne peppers came in pretty well up here in Mass but I buy the 6-pack from the nursery. One of the six was not the same with lots of small leaves, lots of buds/flowers but very few peppers about one inch long. It looks like a chile, and just as hot, but dwarfed compared to the 3-4&quot; size from the other plants. Truth be told, I like the Portuguese hots better than cayenne as they have more flavor and a bit less heat.

  My NuMex Lemon Spice plants (3) are very healthy without pest issues. I’m planning on growing a lot of these next year. Beautiful color to add in pico. -North Carolina Thank you for doing this comparison!

  I grew jalafuego this year. &nbsp;Was very prolific and the hottest jalapeño I have grown. &nbsp;My husband loves them. &nbsp;Might have to try the goliath variety next year.

  I would also like to see a version comparing the ripe varieties. The flavor can change so much. I grow the colorful versions to bring variety in the garden so barring the end of season stripping of the plants before that first frost, I harvest peppers when they are fully ripe and changed colors.

  Take this with a grain of salt but in my experience ripe peppers usually lose the aldehyde taste that green peppers have. I think it is most prominent in Sweet Peppers. maybe that is the case in hot peppers too! I see that a lot of your peppers have some that have completely ripe and maybe you should try tasting ripe versus unripe. Good luck!

  Craig&apos;s Grande Jalapeño gives off huge pods that taste great. One of my favorites.
