Hot Pepper Chocolate Cherry (Capsicum annuum)
Hot Pepper Chocolate Cherry is a unique and visually stunning chili variety, known for its rich brown color, cherry-like shape, and smoky, sweet heat. A favorite among chili enthusiasts, this pepper combines striking aesthetics with bold flavor, making it a versatile addition to gardens and kitchens.
Plant Characteristics
The Chocolate Cherry pepper plant grows to a height of 60–90 cm, with a compact, bushy structure that supports heavy fruiting. It produces round, cherry-shaped peppers measuring 2–4 cm in diameter and weighing approximately 10–15 grams each. The fruits mature from green to a deep chocolate-brown hue, with a smooth, glossy skin. This variety is highly productive, yielding an abundance of peppers throughout the season.
Flavor and Nutritional Qualities
The peppers of Chocolate Cherry have a smoky, slightly sweet flavor with a moderate heat level of 2,000–5,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). Rich in capsaicin, vitamins A and C, and antioxidants, these chilies provide a delightful taste while promoting health benefits such as improved metabolism and immune support.
Cultivation Recommendations
Chocolate Cherry thrives in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil. Sow seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost date, maintaining a soil temperature of 24–30°C for optimal germination. Transplant seedlings outdoors when the weather stabilizes, spacing plants 40–50 cm apart. Regular watering, mulching, and occasional feeding with a balanced fertilizer encourage vigorous growth and high yields. Fruits typically mature in 75–85 days after transplanting.
Applications and Uses
The smoky-sweet flavor of Chocolate Cherry makes it ideal for fresh salsas, grilling, and stuffing. These chilies add depth to sauces, soups, and marinades, while their small size and unique color make them a standout garnish for gourmet dishes. Dried and ground, they can also be used to create flavorful chili powder or flakes.
Packaging and Delivery
Each packet contains 5 fresh, premium-quality seeds, carefully tested for germination and purity. Orders are processed within 1–2 business days, with delivery typically taking 1–2 weeks, both within India and internationally.
