Golden Nugget Pepper (Hot)

Seed Savers Exchange - This variety originally came to us from Martha Perry of Pontiac, Michigan.  We do not have too much on this variety but hey if Seedsavers is willing to pack it up, then it must be great! It will be in our test garden this year for sure 

In general pepper species are native to the Americas and have been cultivated for thousands of years. The Spanish and Portuguese brought them back to Europe and to their colonies in Africa and Asia. From there peppers continued to spread and develop. The chemical in hot peppers that causes a burning sensation is known as capsaicin and can be found in the highest concentration in the white pith around the seeds.
