Crazy productive! Early producer

These are some of the best producing plants I've had. Constantly producing peppers all summer long!

Flavorful, Spicy, Productive

I’ve been searching for a flavorful, spicy (50,000 SHU minimum) cayenne pepper for eating raw, roasting, dehydrating into powder or making hot sauce, and this pepper fits it all! Every seed germinated, the plants grew very well and had lots of peppers. Little no disease problems either. Peppers were spicy and delicious in all those applications I mentioned. Will certainly be growing again!

Love those RING IF FIRE peppers

This seed takes patience to germinate but the final plants give and give right through light frosts in Vermont’s fall. Every plant produces at least a hundred gorgeous peppers. My husband loves hot and these don’t disappoint!

Easy to grow

No problems with germination and the plants are productive. Third year growing these, and they are now a staple in our garden. Easy to dry for long term storage. Nice and spicy, great flavor.

Best ever hot pepper

My husband is a fussy hot pepper guy. I had some seasons of disappointment with peppers from other companies that were so so. Finally with Ring of Fire from Sandia I have a a pepper hot enough to make him sweat and smile all through the summer. He can eat them green or red and they have the punch he loves.

Good and hot

Very prolific plants. Excellent for drying then grinding to sprinkle on many foods. 2 plants give me a years worth of chilis. I grow these every year!

Fast growing hot pepper

Glad to have this fast growing pepper for my short season climate. We always get early frosts or snowstorms in late summer/early autumn, so I'm glad to be harvesting these hot peppers long before that happens. They also dry easily for storing and crushing into hot pepper flakes. I use a molcajete.

GOOD CAYENNE SEEDS

VERY PLEASED WITH AMOUNT OF SEEDS THAT SPROUTED, HUGE HARVEST. DRIED AND USE AS HOT PEPPER FLAKES. WILL GROW EVERY YEAR. HEALTHY PLANTS.

Nice and Hot

Great germination – and great plants, very productive.

Jalapeño M

I pretty much use Sandia seeds exclusively! A few years ago I just happened to order your Jalapeño M. To me it's the perfect Jalapeño! Really nice size! Perfect heat for what we like! Wonderful flavor with a meatyness that's perfect for many different uses! I make my own Sriracha so I wait for them to turn red. They're one of my base peppers for my sauce! I praise them to all my personal friends and to members of groups that I belong to!

Española Improved NuMex Chile Seeds - Robust Flavor and Early Maturity

Dynamite xx Hot peppers, 4 heat lovers only!

I had looked high & low, and searched the web with many word combinations ‘looking’ specifically for my favorite chili, the Dynamite xx Hot… so I could grow my own. The peppers were sold in Colorado at select places during roasting season, but you couldn’t buy seeds for them… anywhere!
Finally, as luck and persistence would have it, I discovered Sandia Seed Company.
Thank you Sandia! I planted them and had a great crop this year. I plan on growing them every year as well as trying some of their other seeds,

Dynamite Green Chile Seeds - Extra Hot Variety at 12,000 Scoville

Prolific Peppers!

There's just something fun about growing a jalapeno that is light enough in color that some people think it's a banana pepper. LOL! I picked these just for color variety, and I'm very pleased that my plants have been loaded with them all season! We donated about 50 lbs of mixed peppers this year from our garden and I still had enough to freeze some and can more jars of recipes than we'll probably be able to use before next season. All my peppers were from Sandia Seed Company. I've never had such great pepper production before using these seeds!!

Tasty and prolific

This spinach germinated well, and produced way more spinach than I'd initially expected. It grew really well, was slow to bolt in the summer, and has a really nice mild flavor for salads or steamed.

Awesome peppers!

This was my first time growing these and I will definitely be growing them from now on. Great germination and very sturdy plants that have withstood some really high winds. Huge long peppers that are excellent green or red, very easy to peel skin.

Jalapeno to Chipotle

I got these to make Chipotle chilis. These fruit early and are mild-ish when green, but when they ripen, they are perfect for smoking and drying with great flavor and nice heat. Don't plant too many as they are quite prolific.
