Malagueta - Seeds

Malagueta  – (Capsicum frutescens)

The Malagueta is a small but fierce classic in Brazil, Portugal, and parts of Africa. These upright, tapered pods grow 1–2" long on bushy 2–3 ft. plants that pump out heavy yields. Fruits ripen from green to bright red with a sharp heat that builds steadily. Flavor leans fruity with a citrusy bite and a hint of bitterness, making them perfect for piri-piri sauces, marinades, pickling, and traditional Brazilian dishes. Highly productive and great indoors or out, this frutescens variety proves that tiny peppers can bring huge flavor and plenty of fire.

Heat level: 60,000 to 100,000+(SHU's) – Medium Hot.

Flavor: Citrusy & Floral.
