Iowa Peppers

Been getting some inquiries over the past few weeks so I wanted to let everyone know that the 2010 crop is ripening quickly.  Any orders can be sent to michael.ganzeveld@gmail.com or you can call me at 319-621-9663.

Thanks!

Been busy working on our new website Walleye Wisdom.

Here’s a picture of one of my Red Savina peppers.  It’s second hottest in the world next to the Bhut Jalokia.

It looks hot but it comes in second.

About 600,000 Scoville Units.  Not quite the 1,000,000 the Bhut Jolokia achieves!  You can see that the pepper is moving green to orange from top down.  A beautiful ruby red, which is almost visible now, will shortly follow the orange and completely envelope the fruit one it completely matures.

That’s a big yield.  Of those one hundred plants there are over a dozen varieties ranging from the exotic Bhut Jalokia to the humble Jalapeno.  We’ve also got the Five Color Marble pepper, the Charleston, and even the ornery Peter Pepper.  Saigon Market in Cedar Rapids has just agreed to sell our peppers and you can find us downtown at the farmers markets.  I’ll post pics soon!

Iowa Peppers is based out of Cedar Rapids, Iowa and we sell some of the world’s most exotic and hottest peppers.  Not only are we local we are also completely organic.  That means that our produce production is all natural.  This year amongst other exotics we are going to be featuring the Dorset Naga, also known as the Bhut or Naga Jolokia, which is the hottest pepper on the planet.  At one million Scoville units it is three times hotter than the Red Savina jabanero pepper.

Iowa Peppers will be selling hot peppers at the Cedar Rapids Farmers Market this spring and summer of 2009.

Hello! My name is  Alexa Ganzeveld. I hope you can come to the Farmers Market in Cedar Rapids and buy some awesome peppers in Summer 2009. There will be a load of peppers  including the Bhut  Jolokia pepper the hottest in the world from India. There will the Rooster Spur, Halti, Cavenne, and much more!
