Hungarian Hot Wax Chilli Pepper

Large pointed peppers borne on plants up to 80 cm tall. An unusual feature of this variety is the variation in heat, being completely mild if picked when yellow, green or orange, but attaining a moderate heat if allowed to fully ripen.

Furthermore, the heat level varies somewhat between individual fruits. This adds versatility in the kitchen as the pepper can be used for many different dishes, such as stir fries, pizza toppings, sliced raw into salads, in kimchi and pickles, stuffed, grilled, in chillies and wraps, or roasted then stored in olive oil.

Due to their size the plants benefit from a couple of cane supports once the fruits start forming as they can get quite top-heavy.

Approx. 18 seeds.

Botanical name: Capsicum annuum
