Hot Pepper, Rain Forest Chili

Availability: In stock (4)

Baker Creek Heirloom Seed, minimum seed count: 10

(Capsicum baccatum). This fruity little pepper from the Brazilian rainforest is a sweet and spicy hot treat. Plants reach 5 feet tall and do benefit from staking. They are smothered in 1 ½ inch, cherry red fruit that pepperheads will find irresistible for snacking! With a refreshingly crispy texture and subtly sweet flesh with tropical fruit tones and medium heat, this one is a favorite for eating out of hand, pickling, cooking, stuffing, and more.
