AG Episode #4: Turning Up the Heat

(9/6): In 6th grade Ag class, our students turned up the heat by taste-testing a variety of peppers grown from seed by last year's AG students —from mild bell peppers to fiery habaneros. Armed with the Scoville scale, they bravely graded each pepper by its Scoville Heat Units (SHU). Let's just say, some students found out firsthand why the habanero comes with a warning label! 🌶️🔥 Then after surviving Monday's pepper taste test, the 6th grade Ag class on Wednesday put their new knowledge to good use by whipping up some pico de gallo on Tuesday—using the very produce they grew from seed last year! Who knew a little homegrown jalapeño could bring tears of joy and...maybe a little extra sweat? 🌶️🍅😅🔥
