Chilli plants

We now have 4 different types of chilli plants (tricky spelling as Americans use chile, UK, Aus. and NZ use chilli. As I am in Australia I will be using the 'chilli' version of the spelling.

Capsicum grows on a small bush and can be used when it is green or you can wait until it turns red, I sometimes pick ours when they are half red and half green. Great added to salads and many cooked dishes.

 1.  Capsicum



2. Chilli
The Chilli can be chopped up and used in many dishes.  The Chilli is graded from 1 to 10 with 1 the least hot and 10 the hottest of chillies.  I like to make a sweet chilli sauce and will write up the recipe I use in my next blog (after experimenting and changing recipes to suit our taste).
