Description
Chili Pepper (Capsicum annuum) encompasses a vast and popular family of heirloom peppers prized for bringing heat, vibrant color, and bold flavor to global cuisines. Producing abundant yields of slender, pointed pods that mature from bright green to deep scarlet red, these versatile peppers deliver a pleasant, invigorating kick. Outstanding for fresh salsas, hot sauces, drying, stringing into decorative ristras, or grinding into chili powder, they are a prolific, heat-loving staple for summer gardens.
