First fruits!
August 2nd, 2008 at 10:47am |
A week or so ago I couldn’t resist picking a fruit or two with immature color and they were nasty. Today a few of the chiltepin were fully red and again I couldn’t resist picking some. And this time they’re delicious! The standout is a Tarahumara chiltepin which is producing huge fruits compared to other chiltepin varieties I’ve grown – maybe 2 inches in diameter. Sliced one up and was jumping for joy from the flavor. Complex red fruit followed by a pleasant heat. Went great on a sandwich. If the other varieties are this good I’m in business.

Hello, I’m looking for a high quality source for chiltepin. Small quantities are needed (5 pounds), for a new product we’re making.
I hope you get this message and can help us out. Thank you!
