Hungarian Wax Chilli Peppers
The mildest variety of chilli pepper we grow and a whopping 15 to 20cm in length, averaging 5cm in diameter.
We harvest these peppers at two different stages of maturity. Half of the crop is picked as they ripen from a dazzling lime green, to a yellow-green. At this stage they have a sweet, fresh taste with very little heat. The remaining fruits are left until they become a rich orange red, with a natural ”beeswax’ sheen (hence the name). The vibrant, fresh flavours, remain intact, whilst the fruits maturity has pushed it up the heat scale.
Heat: Rating Green: Mild 2,000 - 3000 Shu
Heat Rating Red: Medium 3000 - 4000 Shu
