are these chili fruits pointed up or down?

These point down. I think you are looking for the Dragon Chili peppers. Those are the small peppers that all point up.

I think they need some light. Not direct sun light. I keep mine in a corner in the kitchen close to a window. Regarding recipes, I love them in quesadillas. Sauté the mushrooms with a little of butter. Get a tortilla ready with some cheese. Add the mushrooms... enjoy!

They are not a smooth side...I guess you would call it quilted. They look a little fancier than the smooth canning jars, which I liked.

Mine were straight, but they came in computer cable packaging so I sent them back. Maybe the curved ones are actually food safe.

I would agree that California Apricots have a tangier, more intense flavor than our other variety. Although they are sweet I would conclude that they are more on the tangy side.

I wouldn't fret just yet Donnie. Hot Pepper plants are in the same family as tomatoes. The hot little guys are even a slight bit fuzzy at the base of the stem like tomatoes. I could see the confusion in the look but the smell just might be what's throwing you off. They say that some of these exotic peppers have a sweet taste but the capsaicin is so strong that it makes it hard to tell. In other words, that sweet tomatoe smell will subside when the pungent peppers grow. I use Fish Emulsion throughout my growth cycles, so that may be why I have never noticed the similar tomatoe smell. Hope that helped and good luck I wouldn't fret just yet Donnie.

I don't remember...all I know is once they were planted and started to produce they were NOT the same as advertised. They were just little short pickling size and if not picked right away they just got very fat. Amazon was very good in that they refunded my purchase and shipping...great on Amazon's part.

They have a point, but not a really sharp point. They do not appear to me to be scalloped.

Hi Ronnie, the picture on Amazon shows the correct side up. I have had my nippers for a few months and love them.Steve

I am not sure as they are not sweet to me but I would not call them bitter more earthy. The picture at this site lines up with what I received and it thinks they are root. http://www.nailsmag.com/encyclopedia/64231/licorice-root

No they are not. They have a flat bottom, but a rounded top. Hope this helps!

Think of them as shrimp cocktail forks you would see at the restaurant. I hope this helps.

Check the clear round cone shaped disc that rests on the bottom of food chamber. You may have it in upside down.

When you first look at them, they do not seem to be. I was worried about that, too, because we live is South Florida and ants and humidity are always a problem. Surprisingly, the sugar is not in the least caking, and no ants have even approached it. I do love the way they look and was even willing to use zip lock bags, if necessary, but do not need to. Hope this helps you.

To be honest, we were not that thrilled with them. If they are pointed straight down they seem to work okay. But if there is any angle at all, they don't. Hope this helps.

Mine were the same at each end. They were not slanted. They were also wide in diameter. They make great straws for thick malts & shakes.

The photo is pretty accurate. If you'd like to see more photos of them, I'm selling them in gift chopstick carriers on my Etsy site and have several photos there in different lighting.Here's a link to my shop:www.etsy.com/shop/kktheduck
