Charleston hot chile
This relatively new variety of CAYENNE
CHILE is touted to be twenty times hotter than the
JALAPEÑO. Ranging from 3- to 4-inches long, the Charleston hot changes color as it ripens, turning from yellow-green, to golden, to orange and finally to crimson red. It's generally available only at farmer's markets and specialty produce shops. See also
CHILE.
