Description:
As in the words of the band Red Hot Chili Peppers, “I like pleasure spiked with pain.” We’re that crazy to love eating hot peppers that burns our tongues and throats, but we can’t imagine life without hot peppers!
The Red Hot Chili Peppers are small, red peppers that are thin-walled and conical shaped. The pepper plant will grow 18 inches tall and produces large yields of 5 inches long peppers. These peppers have amazing taste and will add zest and flavor to your dishes! The Red Hot Chili pepper may also put fire in your tongue and perhaps a tear in your eye, but we promise the flavors are worth it. Ripening from green to red with medium heat, these peppers are excellent for use in sauces, or to eat it dried or pickled!
