Elongated, fleshy chilli with attractive purple flowers, stems, calyxes and leaf veins. The fruits ripen from purple, golden-brown to orange-red.
Hot Pepper Diavoletto is a type of chili pepper grown in Southern Italy in the region of Calabria. It is also known as "Red Devils" and is used to make sauces or to spice up any dish. The heat level of this pepper is hot, with Scoville Heat Units ranging from 25,000 to 40,000 SHU, which is 10 times hotter than a jalapeno pepper. However, the experience of tasting a jarred Calabrian chili, preserved in oil with a hint of vinegar, tastes like a warm burn of medium level spice. It is more than just the heat that makes this pepper so beloved, as it imparts a fruity and depth of flavor that has become a popular addition to restaurant menus.
Seeds per packet -20.
