Types of PEPPER PLANTS to Grow at Home/🔥WHY is this PEPPER so HOT? 🔥Capsaicin (Foodie Gardener)

Are you new to gardening and need a guide on the types of pepper plants to grow at home? Foodie Gardener, Shirley Bovshow shares some guidelines for selecting pepper plants and explains how the amount of Capsaicin in a pepper dictates how spicy it tastes!

Did you know that when your mouth is on fire after biting into a ghost pepper, it's all in your mind? Your tongue is only IMAGINING that it's on fire, but it's not really burning. It's the capsaicin in the pepper that is playing tricks on you.

Peppers are rated from mild and sweet to intolerable heat on a scale called the Scoville Pepper Scale. Knowing the Scoville pepper rating for the particular pepper plant you want to grow is a great starting point!

When you are ready to select your peppers and start planting, watch Shirley's video:
