My hot choice - 15 pcs. seeds

My Hot Choice is an interesting European selection that combines the qualities of the Italian Goccia d'Oro and the Spanish Padron . The result is a relatively large, fleshy and moderately hot pepper , whose fruits contain a significant amount of flesh.

The variety was created with an emphasis not on extreme spiciness, but on a pleasant and easily accessible taste . This makes it a universal choice for people who like spicy peppers but prefer a moderate spiciness that allows the flavor of the fruit itself to remain in the foreground.
