Description:
The Cheiro Roxa pepper is native to Brazil and is also relative to the habanero, except it has slightly less heat and a unique fresh sweet flavor. If you're looking for an alternative to the habanero, this pepper has just as much flavor and a unique shape/color that will get people talking!
Cheiro Roxa pepper plants are very productive, growing to around 3 ft. tall and producing high yields of these tiny 1" peppers. Their shape looks like they have been squished - almost resembling tiny toppers! These rare & exotic peppers grow from dark purple to a lighter purple, almost translucent pink color when they reach maturity.
With heat levels reaching 60,000-80,000 SHUs, Cheiro Roxa peppers are pretty hot! They can be used dried as chili powder and dried pods, or they can be used fresh in cooking, salads, salsas, sauces, and more.
*Non-Isolated - Disclaimer: While some of our varieties marked non-isolated were isolated when grown, they are an unstable pepper seed variety that may produce plants with genetic variations, making them less predictable and consistent in terms of traits such as flavor, size, and heat level. While this can lead to unique and exciting variations, it's important to note that these seeds may not reliably reproduce the same characteristics from one generation to the next. Planting non-isolated/unstable pepper seeds can be an adventurous gardening experience, but be prepared for some degree of variability in the resulting pepper plants. We will not be able to offer replacements for variation in traits.
