Description:
Also known as the Red Bode, the Bode Red pepper is a beautiful, hot, fruity pepper originating from Brazil that you must grow in your garden.
These 3 ft. tall plants produce high yields of these 1/2" long cherry-shaped fruits. Watch these peppers ripen from green, yellow, orange, and finally to red. While they aren't actually cherries, they sure do have a faint aroma and taste of cherry flavor!
This is an amazing chili with fruity, sweet, and smoky tones. This is perfect for anyone seeking a fruity flavor of a Habanero or Scotch Bonnet, but without the fire-melting heat. This is perfect to make for hot sauces (will have a cheery flavor!), and enhance the flavor of soups, salsas, and sides like potatoes and rice & beans.
