UNLEASH THE

SICK AND TWISTED

THING INSIDE!

As our slogan aptly puts it, our seeds hold something wildly twisted, dormant and waiting for you to unleash it to transform into a graceful burning bush!

MAKE
PEPPERS

GREAT AGAIN!

Our mission is simple: to restore peppers to the greatness they deserve, by respecting the work of breeders and preserving their genetics. We also value old varieties that must be preserved. In a world where uncontrolled crosses are multiplying and sold as true varieties, we advocate for transparency and vigilance. Creating a stable lineage is neither a matter of chance nor simply a name affixed to a fruit. Each pepper has a history, a lineage, and a heritage that deserve to be respected. Join the MAKE PEPPERS GREAT AGAIN movement and cultivate this vision with us!

PRESERVED GENETICS!

At Sick & Twisted Pepper Seeds, genetic preservation is close to our hearts. That’s why we isolate a large portion of our crops to preserve and honor the work done by those who came before us. We don’t just grow a garden full of plants; we cultivate passion, rigor, and methods to offer you the best. And believe us… the best is yet to come!

THAT TAKE
YOUR BREATH AWAY

At Sick & Twisted, we give pride of place to “classic” varieties, but also to several ornamental wonders. Our seed collection features spectacular plants, selected primarily for their ornamental rather than culinary value, even if their fruits can be highlighted in cooking. We appreciate the beauty of the plants as much as the richness of their flavors; browse our site to discover them!

TOMATOES

At Sick & Twisted Pepper Seeds, the madness doesn’t stop at peppers. Tomatoes are another of our passions, which is why we grow them!

All our tomatoes grow freely, without any synthetic fertilizers, just like our peppers.

OUR SCOVILLE SCALE

While countless peppers have never been laboratory-tested to measure their heat, we took the time to improvise our own Scoville scale (a measure of pungency intensity) to give you an idea of the burn produced by each of our varieties. This scale is included in the descriptive sheets of our varieties to help you better compare their intensity. We remind you that there is nothing scientific here, simply our personal opinion.

MILD / 0 to 1,000 SHU
MODERATE / 1,000 to 50,000 SHU
HOT / 50,000 to 250,000 SHU
VERY HOT / 250,000 to 1,000,000 SHU
SUPER HOT / 1,000,000 SHU and +

The Benefits

Hot peppers are not just an explosion of flavors, but also powerful allies for health thanks to capsaicin. They stimulate circulation, strengthen the immune system, relieve certain pains, and boost metabolism.

In the kitchen, they come in a thousand forms, bringing color, character, and vitality to dishes. Growing them yourself also offers the benefits of gardening: relaxation, pride, and satisfaction.

In short, peppers combine pleasure, well-being, and discovery, proving that a little fire can truly benefit both body and mind.

The Effects of Capsaicin

Capsaicin is the natural compound found in peppers, responsible for the sensation of heat. In reality, it doesn’t burn anything; it’s simply a reaction from your body, which tries to defend itself by sweating, salivating, and even releasing endorphins.

By binding to heat-sensitive nerve receptors, it tricks the brain into believing there’s a burn, causing that adrenaline rush that enthusiasts love and that makes the heat so addictive!

Present in different concentrations depending on the variety, it becomes pleasure, challenge, and passion for pepper enthusiasts.

What is Capsaicin?

Capsaicin is a natural compound produced primarily in the white membrane of Capsicum peppers.

Belonging to the capsaicinoid family, it is an alkaloid with the formula C₁₈H₂₇NO₃, discovered in 1816 and isolated in 1876. In its pure form, it appears as a white crystalline powder, insoluble in water but soluble in fats and alcohol.

Today, it is used in medicine for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. A powerful natural molecule, symbolizing the fascinating power of peppers.

Isolated vs. Non-Isolated Plants

At Sick & Twisted Pepper Seeds, we take care to isolate a large portion of our crops. Each of our variety descriptions indicates whether the seeds come from an isolated or non-isolated plant.

Isolated Plants: Controlled pollination (nets or distance) to prevent cross-pollination. Seeds are pure and true to the original variety: shape, color, taste, and heat.

Non-Isolated Plants: Free and natural pollination by insects, which can cross several varieties with each other. When cultivated, these new combinations are unstable.

Over 60 Varieties

Our collection contains over 60 fantastic heirloom varieties, carefully selected over the years to offer you the best.

We have something for every taste, in all colors, sizes, and shapes. Determinate, indeterminate, miniature—there’s no shortage of choice, and rest assured, all our varieties produce a phenomenal quantity of fruit.

A garden is never complete until tomatoes are grown in it. All our tomatoes grow freely, without any synthetic fertilizers, just like our peppers.

The Whole Family Loves Them

Young and old will bite into them with gusto. These rich and juicy fruits are the perfect snack to pick directly from the garden. Every bite transforms into a guilty pleasure.

A Unique Collection

Our collection brings together rare and exceptional varieties from all corners of the world, chosen for their beauty, their history, but above all for their flavor.

Variegated or potato-leaf foliage, marbled, striped, or deep black fruits—each variety evolves throughout the season, transitioning from green, purple, or orange hues to vibrant fiery colors, sometimes so intense they appear unreal.

What makes this collection even more unique is that all our seeds come from meticulous artisanal work carried out on our farm. Growing our tomatoes means supporting local craftsmanship!

Anthocyanins

Our collection also features several anthocyanin-rich varieties, as spectacular to look at as they are delicious to taste.

Anthocyanins are natural pigments belonging to the flavonoid family, responsible for the purple, blue, or black hues of certain tomatoes. They are produced by the plant to protect itself from sun, cold, and stress, while also offering antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Their concentration depends on the variety and sun exposure: the stronger the light, the more intense the color.

Germination Rate

Every autumn marks the end of harvests, which rhymes with germination testing, to offer you seeds with success rates nearing perfection in many varieties season after season.

It is essential to perform these tests to ensure that the seeds meet your expectations and our quality standards. Seeds can be stored for several years in a cool, dry place without their germination rate significantly decreasing.

Here, we renew our inventories every three years, and often sooner in case of stock depletion, to always offer you recent and high-performing batches.
