And heat up your summer!
Seminis Vegetable Seeds wants to help you "pick a peck of perfect peppers" for salsa, guacamole or other spicy summer recipes.
Seminis currently produces more than 24 different types of pepper seeds. These include ever-popular anchos and jalapeños, and many other lesser-known but equally spicy varieties. Senior hot pepper breeder Terry Berke spends his days working to improve Seminis hot peppers. Based on consumer demand, he selects for peppers that are darker in color or larger in size. In some cases he's making Seminis peppers hotter, and in others, he's taking the heat out. Seminis developed the first "heat-free" jalapeño in the 1990s: a pepper that has lower levels of capsaisin, producing a pepper with all the flavor of a jalapeño and very little of the heat.
