Details
30,000-40,000 SHU. Firecracker peppers are both a visual treat and a delight to the palate. Often used whole, these peppers enhance soups, stews, stir-fries, or marinades with their chili kick and distinct fruity flavor without overwhelming heat. As they mature to red, they can be dried and stored for future culinary uses or creatively turned into decorative herb wreaths, kitchen swags, or garlands. A great addition to any garden that is looking to add some spice. Non-Isolated.
