Details

The pods are similar to chiltepins, suggesting that this plant represents a very primitive type of baccatum that was (and still is) spread by birds. It has very large leaves in relation to the pods. Eat them fresh, use them in curries, pickle them, or make an extreme hot sauce. Also amazing in stir-fries, Italian and Mexican food. The pods fall easily off the stem when ripe. Very prolific. Non-Isolated.
