Description
(Capsicum frutescens)
A compact, medium sized chilli from Zimbabwe, with small fruit that ages from green through orange to red. One of the hottest African Chillies.
Growing Tips
Plant in a protected spot out of fierce sunlight and wind in a well-drained but moist soil. May need some support when it ages.
Use
Chillies form an integral part of many Asian and Latin American dishes along with some European, African and North American. Indeed over time most cuisines have added this fiery little fruit into their recipes. There are many forms that vary in colour, shape, flavour and of course heat. This variety produces large yields of small narrow chillies that are very popular in African dishes.
