Description:
The Chili Tepin Pepper, a small yet fiery variety, defies its size with an impressive punch of heat. Affectionately known as "bird's eye peppers" due to their petite size and round shape, these peppers thrive in both garden beds and containers, thanks to their adaptable nature and bushy growth. Chili Tepin Plants maintain a manageable size while yielding an abundance of fruit, typically reaching a height of 1 to 3 feet. They transition from a vibrant green to eye-catching red as they mature.
With a Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) range of 50,000 to 100,000, Birds Eye Chili Peppers are perfect for spice enthusiasts. Beyond their heat, they are versatile in various culinary uses. When dried in the sun, Chili Tepin Peppers can be ground into powder or flakes, becoming a lively seasoning that elevates the flavor of many dishes. From salsas to hot sauces, these peppers add a satisfying amount of spice.
