Description:
The Japones Pepper is a thin, long, crinkled variety designed to spice and fire up your dish! With its uncaged heat, the spiciness of the Japones is the dominant experience you will have when consuming this pepper!
These grow on short, 2 ft. tall plants and have great production of spicy 2" pepper pods. They look very similar to Santaka Hot Peppers, except a little skinnier and with slightly less heat. You'll see these pods ripen from green to a shiny bright red when they're ready to be picked.
Japones peppers are popular with Asian, Latin, and Caribbean cuisines known to bring a certain amount of spiciness to each dish. You can add the dried Japones chiles as a whole in the dish or crush them as chili flakes or powder to spice up your meal. Try growing the Japones pepper plant in your garden today!
