Organic Hot Stuff - The Penis Chilli


You want Organic - well nature has it.


This is the 'Peter Pepper' It’s been called by many other names, including Chilli Willy and Penis Chilli; and has been judged “Most Pornographic Pepper” by Organic Gardening Magazine... In Malaysia it's called the circumsized chilli ...and it's a real plant.


Mother Nature must be playing a prank on mankind (and womankind as well) when such extraordinary vegetables appear.

These are actual peppers from a garden. They are called 'Peter Peppers'. It's probably the world’s most offensive-looking plant

I first thought it was just another Photoshopped hoax, but apparently it’s a real plant, usually called the Peter Pepper, scientific name capsicum annuum var. annuum ‘Peter’.

It’s native to Louisiana and Texas and it’s been called many other names, including Chilli Willy and Penis Chilli; and has been judged “Most Pornographic Pepper” by Organic Gardening Magazine...

Apparently it has always been grown more as an ornamental thing, rather than to be eaten, although it’s perfectly edible.

By the way, a farmer who specializes in growing them says they can grow up to 18" long!

You can take an Organic mouthful but it will surely bring tears to your eyes.
