Collection: Capsicum Frutescens

Capsicum frutescens: This species produces small, upright, often tapered fruits, frequently in clusters, that ripen from green to bright red or orange and are commonly used whole in sauces and condiments. Heat is usually medium to high, with a sharp, quick burn rather than the deep, lingering fire of many C. chinense types. Frutescens likely arose in tropical Central and South America but is now strongly associated with humid tropical regions worldwide, including parts of Africa and Asia, thanks to famous types like tabasco.
