Morango

Morango Chilli Seeds. We have a soft spot for this chilli. C. Baccatum. This is an unusual chilli that can be a little tricky to germinate, but once established grows very bushy with loads of off white cherry shaped pods. When pods are white, this plant serves well as an ornamental in a garden. Eventually pods will change from off white to orange, and finally to red once fully ripe. Pods also have the characteristic of having a little corking on the outside. Pods are super crunchy and juicy with a great citrus flavour… almost Habanero like, but not the same searing heat. So a great option for those who don’t like their chillies so hot.
