Solanum aethiopicum (Garden Egg) Fresh Anara Leaves Garden egg

African eggplant. 

Solanum aethiopicum, the bitter tomato, Ethiopian eggplant, or nakati, is a fruiting plant of the genus Solanum mainly found in Asia and West Africa. It is also known as Ethiopian nightshade, garden eggs, and mock tomato. It is a popular vegetable in north-east India, and is known as khamen akhaba in Manipuri and samtawk in Mizo. These names are a result of its varied morphology, with ripe fruit often looking like a cross between an eggplant and a tomato, which are also from Solanum. In fact, the Ethiopian eggplant was so much confused with the ordinary eggplant that this was considered by some a variety violaceum of S. aethiopicum.

The 7 Pot Douglah Pepper (Capsicum Chinense)

The 7 Pot Douglah also known as the 7 Pod Douglah or Chocolate 7 Pod  is without a doubt one of the hottest peppers in the world, though its looks and flavor provide a unique twist to the top end of the pepper scale. It ages to a chocolate brown hue instead of the typical shock red, with a flavor that is not only fruity sweet, but also a little nutty. It is a unique pepper in color and taste – that is, if you can get past the scorching heat that at its peak blows most other 7 Pot peppers out of the water. A little sliver of a chocolate 7 Pot can certainly heat pot of soup (hence the name 7 Pot – it’s said that 1 pod will spice seven pots of stew).
