ZIMBABWE BIRD PEPPER
Zimbabwe Bird Pepper is a fiery little powerhouse from southern Africa, closely related to the famous African Bird’s Eye chilli. It belongs to the Capsicum frutescens species and produces clusters of tiny, upright pods that mature from green to a vibrant red.
With very hot heat levels, these chillies pack a punch in small doses. They're commonly used in local Zimbabwean cooking to spice up stews, relishes, and fermented sauces. The compact plants are prolific and hardy, thriving in heat and resisting drought well — an ideal option for growers in tough conditions or anyone after authentic African fire.
