I have seen the hotness of peppers vary *greatly* between the same species in the same garden, and even on the same plant. How do restaurants and other food preparers manage to get a product with consistent hotness?

Answer 1

I think if you grow in a large field, where pollination is coming from the same set of plants, you get consistent plants

At home, different flowers get pollinated from different plants and come out inconsistent.

I have found that at home, if you grow different varieties together, after a few years, they eventually all turn into the same hotness.
