Capsicum chinense
Selected from the Ghanaian landrace kpakpo shito, this odd habanero has fruit that are vaguely shaped like a raindrop. The aromatic fruit are very hot and small, measuring a mere 1.5 x 2cm. Traditionally used young and green, they ripen to red if left on the plant.
This is an early plant to fruit and ripen. I really enjoyed these green and red!
The two other kpakpo shito varieties we offer are – Cheeky (not for 2022) and Pettie Belle.
Heat level: very hot (approx. 88,000 SHU)
