Hot Chili and Sweet Pepper Kit

Chili peppers are so versatile. They can spice up any dish and add color as well. There’s also increasing evidence that hot chili peppers have strong medicinal properties, something modern scientific researchers are just beginning to explore.

One bit of widely publicized research was the result of a large study, which appeared in the British Medical Journal. It found that high consumption of hot, spicy foods was associated with a lowered mortality rate, and a reduced incidence of cancer and heart disease.

Even if you aren’t eating peppers for health reasons, there’s no arguing that they do add zest to your food.

You could buy your own peppers at the grocery store. But it’s much more fun to grow them yourself. The Hot Chili & Sweet Pepper Kit by Plant Theatre, as seen above, provides everything you need for a bountiful harvest of six different varieties of chili peppers. These include the mouth-burning Habanero, Cayenne and Jalapeno, as well as three sweet pepper varieties. The sweet pepper seeds include Sweet Pepper Frying Mix, Sweet Pepper Orange Sun and Sweet Pepper California Wonder.

This kit has everything you need to get started, including the seeds, growing pots, peat blocks and plant markers. It would make a great gift for someone who likes to garden. It can also serve as an easy introduction to gardening, for someone who’s just learning.
