FAQs about lemon drop pepper
The most common question about lemon drop pepper is, of course, about its taste. It does have a definite citrusy zing. To some people, its flavor is very reminiscent of lemons, especially the tang it leaves behind on your tongue. Depending on your taste buds and at what point in its maturity process growers harvested the pepper, its taste will vary slightly from one to another.
When you hear its fruity name, you may not expect this chili to produce on the Scoville scale. Sure it's zesty but is it hot? Take a bite, and you might be surprised. It ranks between 15,000-30,000 SHUs, making it two to 12 times more potent than a jalapeño.
Although those ratings might be a little intimidating, the lemon drop pepper isn't overbearing. The medium-heat punch comes on quick and strong, but it doesn't linger. In fact, if you love the flavor of habanero but you can't bear the heat, the lemon drop is an ideal substitute.
The refrigerator is the best place to put your lemon drops. Don't wash them before storing them, as the residual water may speed up the spoiling process. Place the chilies in a produce bag and stow them in your vegetable crisper with an optimal temperature between 40 and 45 degrees Fahrenheit.
If you store them properly, your peppers will keep for up to 3 weeks. Whole fruits last longer than cut fruit, and if you notice any signs of rotting, throw them out and have some fresh chilies delivered.
