I sure like sashitos. I had never heard of them either. Was searching for peppers to grow and ran across the cowhorns. The last jalapenos I grew had all the hot of a green bell pepper. The serranos I grew, well the fugkin woodchuck got them when they were just getting going.

I’ve grown the cow horns for a few years. Ours are jalapeño level heat but I think they taste better. The skin/texture is very cayenne like they just get 6-10” long. Cow horns are one of my favorites.
When I die I hope I don't start voting democrat.

Yup. And just for the record, if you shoot a woodchuck on the 4th of July, even in the city limits, most folks just think its a fire cracker.

I grow Corno Di Toro (horn of the bull) and they are my favorite pepper. Mine are just slightly hotter than a bell, but not as hot as a jalapeno.

I sure like sashitos. I had never heard of them either. Was searching for peppers to grow and ran across the cowhorns. The last jalapenos I grew had all the hot of a green bell pepper. The serranos I grew, well the fugkin woodchuck got them when they were just getting going. Those peppers are pretty good. I grow them when I find the starts. Of course, I've had as many as 17 different varieties of peppers in a garden some seasons. Was just talking to my wife about the jalapenos. Seems they were way hotter in the 60's and 70's than today, and much smaller. I told here I honestly believe they've developed milder and larger varieties due to the gain in popularity with the American public.............nacho mania and such. I've never taken a shine to jalapenos, just not a big fan of the taste. Turn them into chipotles and that's a different story. Serranos have gotten larger, mostly longer too..............either developed that way or maybe it's more inputs in the culture of them in Mexico. Used to mostly be about the size of my little finger, now I see some approaching 4" long. Can't wait to get warm season veggies going. ...............................That's a couple of months off still.

Valsdad, ya the Jalapenos seem mild lately, no matter which store I get them from.
I like peppers to have some heat. Don't need to burn my mouth like with ghost peppers
Grew some scotch bonnets, they were ok, just looking for some good solid heat like jalapenos used to be.
Gonna give these cow horns a shot along with some serranos.

What is the other name for cow horn pepper? These large, (thick-walled cayenne peppers) are named for their shape. The fruit turns bright red when mature and are quite hot. The wrinkled fruits are excellent for sauces and drying.

"Cow Horn" peppers are no more than a "mega cayenne" pepper. As the weather cools in the fall, our peppers usually take off! Just before the first frost, we pull up the plants and strip the peppers off. We put the peppers in a dehydrator. Careful! They will run you out of the house! After drying, we run them through a blender to turn them into a powder! WARNING!!!! Opening the blender WILL run you out of the house! It takes VERY little of the pepper for seasoning!

I'm down to only growing thick-fleshed peppers. Except for bird peppers, gotta throw some of those little things in.
