Chiltepin Tepin Pepper Plant - Hottest Small Pepper - Bird Pepper - 2.5" Pot

Chiltepin Pepper - The World's hottest Bird's Eye Pepper This extremely hot bird's eye Pepper originates from a native Mexican shrub. As a wild plant the germination and fruit maturity takes longer than traditional chili peppers. Plants can be over-wintered in a frost-free place to flower and fruit the following year as a short-lived perennial. Important! Handle seeds very carefully, wash hands after sowing. Do not allow near your eyes and keep away from children. The Chiltepine is a very small chile in size and has a quite distinctive smoky bite. The Chiltepin is eaten sun-dried, added to cheese and ice creams, fermented into sauces, and pickled with wild oregano, garlic, and salt as a tabletop condiment. As the only wild native chile to the US, the Chiltepin is sometimes called the "mother of all peppers.” Known by many names—Chiltepin, Chile Tepin, Chile del Monte, Chillipiquin, a'al kokoli (O'odham), Chiltepictl (Nahuatl), Amash (Mayan) Measurements are approximate
