© TabascoTabasco The Tabasco chile originated from a state of that name in south-east Mexico, where the land is mostly flat and marshy, and it is hot and humid with extensive jungles. The Tabasco can be found growing commercially in New Iberia, Louisiana, the home of the famous sauce company of the same name where it has grown since at least 1850. As a Tabasco Sauce factory tour guide explained; Col. McIlhenny had never been to Tabasco, but either he had been to other parts of Mexico or that had gotten the seeds as a gift from a friend just returned from Central America. He began growing the peppers on Avery Island, and named the sauce "Tabasco" because it sounded exotic, e.g. foreign and Mexican! Tabasco chiles are also grown by the sauce makers in Venezuela, Guatemala and elsewhere. The Tabasco grows pointing upwards, is bright red when picked, 4 cm long by 1 cm wide, and has a heat level of 9. 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville units. (Capsicum frutescens var. tabasco). Tabasco plants grow into compact bushes 1 to 4 feet high, bearing around 100 pointed 1 1/2 inch pods. 50,000 SHU

Fresh © Jukka KilpinenTepin Most experts believe the Tepin, also called Chiltepin, is the original wild chile - the plant from which all others have evolved. It is a tiny round berry slightly larger than a peppercorn. It is very decorative and bright scarlet in colour and, despite its high heat level, it is attractive to wild birds, who helped to distribute it across the prehistoric Americas. Other name include Chile Mosquito, Chile de Pajaro, Chile Silvestre or Tecpintle. One ounce of this dried pepper with seeds removed will produce a detectable hotness in 50,000 ounces (over 300 gallons) of salsa! Heat level is 8. (Capsicum annuum).
