I was not expecting the fruit from our ornamental pomegranate to be as tasty as it is. (europe.pub)

    Ornamental peppers are ridiculously hot, like much much hotter than even reapers.

    Might be cabale of causing chemical burns if you eat enough of them. Idk.

    I had an ornamental pepper plant at a prior house and tried making salsa by roasting a couple of them. It was actually surprisingly good - the peppers had a great flavor. They were very small, and I did deseed them before roasting, so overall the salsa was hot but not unacceptably so.

    I had one that I bought not realising it was ornamental. Some were mild, some were insane and the hottest thing I've ever experienced. All were pretty bitter. I think they were 'ornamental" because there inconsistent. Vivid purple though so actually pretty until the birds ate them all.
