Yellow chilli peppers

yellow cayennes?? Interesting....*goes to do research on google.



Though if you Do need some yellow chillis ANY TIME just let me know VC

[The Large One]

Oh forgot about them
Golden cayenne, perfect for the job

This is going to sound so stupid but what's the difference between a cayenne pepper and a chilli pepper?
I've tried Goggling but I'm none the wiser

I had great success with Lemon Drop from Real Seeds (and they're reduced right now)

I've grown Wenks Yellow Hots from Real Seeds this year, they're gone mad and produced loads, well impressed

[Newton]

I think that cayenne is just a name of a variety of chilly VC! Might be wrong though.......I am sure a real chilli head will confirm or otherwise.....

[Lisamcflisa]

Yeah VC, like Newton said, a Cayenne is a variety of chilli.. medium heat one

[veggiechicken]

Thanks Newton & Lisa. That's what I thought but niggling little doubts were creeping into my addled brain

[Lisamcflisa]

forgot to say i've grown hungarian hot wax this year and they are harvested yellow, they are quite chunky, sort of mini banana pepper size, they are milder than cayenne so depends whether you need amount or heat for what your friend wants making

[veggiechicken]

Knowing Dai the Jam, he'll want hot, as hot as the hobs of hell! He makes one chilli pickle that he labels in Welsh - as the use of the words Dragon's and Round spherical objects might be a bit too obvious in English. I did ask him what sort of chillies would he want and all he muttered was Yellow, has to be Yellow.... I probably won't see him until the Christmas market in December but unless you chilli experts tell me otherwise, that still gives me plenty of time to sow the seeds.

Yellow Jolokia Bhut Pepper aka Ghost Pepper | Chile Town Hot SauceI suppose he's got an asbestos mouth then lol.... you could always try get hold of some of these seeds... he might feel like a certain part of his anatomy is on fire after eating it!!

[veggiechicken]

Wow, Lisa, that one sounds potent. Used to keep wild elephants away! Not too many of those in these parts fortunately

[Lisamcflisa]

maybe a mix of hot ones and the milder ones to pack it out would be ok, i'm trying to get most of mine to ripen, been looking for recipes for green chillies! think i'm gonna make my own version of lazy chillies otherwise the frost is gonna get em before i do... dunno bout wild elephants, round here we get a few loony sheep n chickens lol

Update on my search for a yellow chilli. Dai the jam says he'd like long slim chillis, medium hot, as he puts in more yellow chillis and less yellow bell peppers than the recipe that I found required. So the chillis shouldn't be too hot as he won't be able to sell the jam.
Which do you recommend now please? My requirements are easy to grow and prolific. Thanks again

I haven't tried them myself but it sounds like the Golden Cayenne mentioned in previous posts might fit the bill!

They look lovely... must resist buying more seeds, must resist buying more seeds!

I'd definitely go for Hot Lemon then. Reasonably long, slim and very yellow. Medium heat with a nice citrus tang. Also known as Aji Limon or Lemon Drop.
