Yes they would be considered a hot pepper.Correction:Pimienta's are sweet peppers and rate a "negligible" on the Scoville scale of pepper hotness. They're the same as sweet green peppers in this.
Why are some Chile's hotter than others?
"Hotness" comes from the capsaicin in the pepper. Some, like green bell peppers, have none. Jalapenos have some. Sorrenos, more. Habaneros, a LOT more. The more capsaicin, the hotter the pepper. Now go look up Scoville Heat Units- that is the scale used to compare hotness. PS, hotter is not always better.
Are red chillies hotter than green chillies?
Red chilies are generally hotter than green chilies. Red chilies have the most capsaicin, so they are more intense and longer lasting than green chilies. The red and green chili peppers have one thing in common: they're both popular peppers around the world.
Are all peppers fruit?
There are a lot of different things called "pepper".MOST of them are fruits. For example, black pepper is the cooked, dried, and ground fruit (including seeds) of the plant Piper nigrum, and bell peppers and chile peppers are both fruits (there are different varieties with varying degrees of "hotness", but bell peppers, ghost peppers, and everything in between are all the same species, Capsicum annuum). Cayenne pepper ( one kind of red pepper) is the ground-up dried fruit of a variety of the same species. A different kind of red pepper is the ripe fruit (sometimes pickled in brine or vinegar) of Piper nigrumagain.However, white pepper is the seeds (without the fruit) of Piper nigrum, and "pepper dulse" is a kind of seaweed.
How do you grow a pepper plant hotter?
Bell peppers grow best in warm weather, must be well spaced (not crowded by each other or weeds), and fertilized. Bell peppers are susceptible to blossom end rot, a condition resulting from low calcium in the soil. This can be amended by scattering about 1/4 cup of bone meal in a ring around the main stem of the plant, then working the powder into the soil. Mulching with straw helps reduce the need for watering.
