Chiltepin Pepper

SKU: PEP39
/

50,000-100,000 SHU. The Chiltepin pepper is a wild, heirloom variety native to the southwestern United States and Mexico. Known as the “mother of all peppers,” it produces tiny, round to oval fruits about 0.25 inches in diameter. Despite their small size, Chiltepin peppers pack a fiery punch. The peppers ripen from green to a vibrant red and have a smoky, fruity flavor. Chiltepin plants are hardy perennials in warm climates and grow up to 4 feet tall. They are often used in salsas, hot sauces, and traditional Mexican dishes. Expect 50,000-250,000 Scoville Heat Units depending on the season and your location.

Hot pepper

I am not having luck with this pepper. All other peppers that are very hot sprouted very well. At this time I have 1 that sprouted out of all the seeds. I'm waiting to see if more decide to pop up. I have not used a heat mat on any of my hot peppers and they did great. So maybe this one NEEDS a heat mat.

Pea sized spice bombs

These took a long time to mature, but they were quite flavorful and spicy. They are loaded with seeds. Great for dehydrating.

I was nervous if I was going to be able to get this to grow because there was only ten seeds in the packet but I started with four of them and got two to sprout.
