Madame Jeanette
Originating from Suriname, Madame Jeanette is a unique hot pepper variety with a smooth pod and a heat unit that ranges from 125,000 to 325,000 on the Scoville scale. It is believed that the hot pepper got its name after a famous Brazilian prostitute, although the correlation is still unclear.
Jeanette comes in two colors – yellow and red, and both are very hot. It varies in shape quite a bit: sometimes, it looks like an elongated bell pepper, other times the peppers are thin, curved, and wrinkled, while some of them are shaped almost like a pumpkin.
They are often used in Indian sambal, salsas, and enchiladas.
