ZIA PUEBLO
Zia Pueblo chilli is a traditional Native American variety cultivated by the Zia people of New Mexico. Deeply rooted in the culture and cuisine of the Southwest, this Capsicum annuum variety grows on sturdy, bushy plants and produces elongated, tapering red pods that resemble classic New Mexican chillies.
It delivers a mild to medium heat and a rich, earthy flavour with smoky undertones when roasted — ideal for red chilli sauce or drying into flakes. The Zia Pueblo chilli thrives in hot, dry conditions and is well-suited for heritage gardens or growers seeking to preserve Indigenous agricultural traditions.
