The Bishop’s Crown Chilli is a unique heirloom Capsicum baccatum variety recognised for its unusual winged pod shape resembling a bishop’s crown or jester’s hat. Pods ripen from green to bright red and are known for their crisp texture and mild to medium heat level. Unlike many hotter chilli varieties, the Bishop’s Crown is prized primarily for its sweet fruity flavour and versatility in cooking. The heat is generally concentrated around the centre of the pod, while the outer wings remain relatively mild and slightly sweet. Its bright flavour and manageable heat make it highly popular for fresh salads, stuffing, pickling, salsas, sauces, and grilling. The distinctive pod shape also makes it a favourite ornamental and culinary variety among home growers and chefs alike. SHU:5,000 – 30,000 SHU Origin:Traditional heirloom Capsicum baccatum variety originating from South America, particularly associated with Barbados and parts of Brazil.
