The Cheiro Roxa pepper is native to Brazil and is also relative to the habanero, except it has slightly less heat and a unique fresh sweet flavor. If you're looking for an alternative to the habanero, this pepper has just as much flavor and a unique shape/color that will get people talking! Cheiro Roxa pepper plants are very productive, growing to around 3 ft. tall and producing high yields of these tiny 1" peppers. Their shape looks like they have been squished - almost resembling tiny toppers! These rare & exotic peppers grow from dark purple to a lighter purple, almost translucent pink color when they reach maturity. With heat levels reaching 60,000-80,000 SHUs, Cheiro Roxa peppers are pretty hot! They can be used dried as chili powder and dried pods, or they can be used fresh in cooking, salads, salsas, sauces, and more. Like your peppers hot?
