Would love to grow these peppers but don't know the variety, any help appreciate

[amphibian]

The ones from the kebab shop are almost certainly jalapeño peppers preserved in brine, seeds are readily available & there are numerous ways to preseve them yourself.
There is no Asda around here so I am guessing but I suspect they are Peppadew™ Sweet Piquanté Peppers, if they are then you won't find seeds for sale but they do come up in seedswaps from time to time.

I reckon they're normall hotwax not jalapeño

Hello guys :)

I am new to the forum and my search for ppd peppers is what led me here. I have recently had success growing long chillies from seed but would love to get hold of the small sweet variety. I have had them pickled and also on top of pizzas in restaurants. They are truly scrumptious and I am so excited that the new growing season has started. Just a quick q, how much luck do you think I will have growing this type of pepper inside? I live in London in a studio flat. Does anyone have a success story?

Thanks

Hiya, DeeDee, welcome to the site  ;D

Someone has kindly photographed their jar of pickled peppers to help with I.D. Check out this link:

I don't get those round ones in my kebab shop.

The ones I get are 5-7inches long and about 1/2 an inch wide at the top, tapering to a point.
They are yellowy-green like in this picture.



I don't think they are jalapeno though, as the flesh is too thin.

Mr Physio can you describe the stuffed peppers at Asda.  They sound good.  Are they in the chill counter.  In a box/ packet?   Thanks.

[DeeDee]

The ones I saw looked more like cherry tomatoes. They were very sweet and packed a punch. Does anyone know where to get seeds for peppers like this?

Its true about the pepperdew peppers.  I can't find them anywhere.  Does anyone know where one would acquire some seeds?
Thanks

If they were hot and round perhaps
Ciliega Piccante "Satan's Kiss" (hot but get much milder when cooked)

or
Iranian Round http://www.realseeds.co.uk/hotpeppers.html

I don't think either of the photos is of a Jalapeno.

Hi Tomatoada,

In my local asda (Coryton, Cardiff) they are in the deli pre-packed section with the likes of fresh tomato salsa, fresh olives etc. They are in a round clear plastic container which has a plastic heat sealed top. The peppers are larger than cherry toms but smaller than regular sized toms, they are stuffed with soft cheese and stored in oil. Hope that helps, they are priced between £2.00 and £2.65, dependant upon wether they are on offer!

The kebab shop chillies are normally long chunky and green, could be  Turkish variety called Aci Sivri.

I noticed your question about whether you can grow from seeds from peppers which have been preserved in oil.

I had no idea but decided to research how to preserve peppers in oil.

There is a warning about botulism, if you do this at home with cold oil, the peppers are partly dried then placed in cold oil. Not something I would try and I rather think that commercially they would not be able to sell anything with that risk factor.

So, the ones sold must be preserved in a hot oil method. The heat would kill the seeds.

However, nature is peculiar in many ways and it would not cost much to take a few pepper seeds, rinse off the oil and dry on a paper towel, put them in half a pot of compost, cover with more (they have to have dark to germinate) and wait. It can take a month to six weeks to find out and if just one comes up. You have got a mother plant to go in to production with.

I do not expect it will work, but weirder things have happened.

Hey, has anyone managed to find a source for sweet piquante peppers yet?  I'm trying to dry out some seeds just now, but very very doubtful that it will work with these.
