ZIMBABWE LARGE RED
A bolder cousin to the Bird Pepper, Zimbabwe Large Red is a more substantial chilli from the same region, also from the Capsicum frutescens family. It produces longer, slender red pods with slightly wrinkled skins, delivering hot heat that builds with intensity.
This variety is used extensively in Zimbabwean cuisine where bigger pods are preferred for cooking sauces and for drying. It’s also appreciated for its strong resistance to pests and ability to produce heavily in even marginal soils. A rugged, productive chilli perfect for growers wanting yield and heat.
