woolies red chillies

Post by murphyslaw »

Hi all

Just wondering if anyone happens to know what type of chilli it is that woolies sells as red chillies.
They are the longish red one that they always seem to have.

It's just a standard long red chilli that is not very hot and can be chewed on raw. Don't know the exact variety though. Occasionally they will get the little Thai ones in and jalapeños when in season. Their selection sucks compared to a decent farmers market where you can get some really nice flavour some ones

Department of Agriculture and Fisheries Below is a list of the main types of chilli peppers grown in Queensland. There are others that are not listed here. The ABS Survey 2009 (Australian Bureau of Statistics), shows around 38,913 t of capsicums and chillies were grown in Queensland on about 1722 ha. This was worth $91.98 million.


commercial chilli varieties grown in Queensland
Horn

This fruit is the same length as Cayennes but broader - about 25 mm - and usually slightly curved. One piece of fruit usually fits whole on the side of a dinner plate and is often consumed that way. Flesh is 2-3 mm thick. The fruit is not large enough for processing, which makes the Horn a fresh market type. Heat level varies greatly with variety but they tend to be 1000-10,000 Scoville units, making them mild to medium heat. This is a popular type in Taiwan and Korea, where many varieties originate.


Cayenne

This is long, thin, sharply pointed fruit that may either be held erect on the bush or hang pendant depending on variety. The length of the fruit also varies with variety and each bush usually has a lot of fruit. Flesh thickness is about 2 mm. Heat level varies with variety but is usually in the range of 5000-25,000 Scoville units, making them medium heat. They usually are fresh market fruit.


Jalapeno

Pronounced 'hal-uh-pen-yah', this type is a great favourite in Mexico and United States (US), where the industry is very valuable and has grown rapidly. The fruit is about 9 cm long and 30-40 mm wide. Flesh is exceptionally thick (4-5 mm), making this fruit very heavy for its size (approximately 30 g). Jalapenos have excellent flavour and are ideal for fresh or processed products. The US market usually consumes green fruit of mature size because surface 'netting' similar to netting of rockmelons develops as the fruit matures. Netting is preferred in Mexico because the flavour is best in red/ripe fruit. Heat level varies widely with different varieties from very mild to medium heat (1000-15,000 Scoville units). The netting has made the jalapeno less attractive to Australian consumers.


Habanero

The Habanero is a different species from all other chillies mentioned here and is blistering hot. Fruit has a thin flesh and and a shape similar to a Scotch bonnet or Christmas bell decoration. Mature colour may be orange or red, depending on variety. They are suited for niche markets.

Birdseye


The fruit of this type is short - about 40-50 mm long - and thin, two lobed, sharply pointed, with flesh about 1.5 mm thick. Colour of immature fruit may be dark green or light green depending on the variety. Fruit is held erect on the bush, and there is a lot of fruit per bush. The most recent varieties have short bushes with fruit clearly displayed at the top. This feature makes them suitable for trying once-over mechanical harvesting. However, they are continuous bearers. Very high yields have been reported with hand-harvesting over a nine month period. Heat level may be in the range of 30,000-50,000 Scoville units, making them very hot. They are usually sold on the fresh market.


Bells

These are identical to the sweet bell capsicum except they are mildly hot. Each bush may have as few as 5 or 6 fruits, or as many as 20. Each fruit has three or four locules (lobes) and thick 'flesh'
