Absolutely delighted with these seeds! The plants produced peppers faster than I expected. The taste is authentic and sharp, perfect for hot sauces or drying.
These chiltepin seeds grew quickly, and the plants are very hardy. The peppers have a distinct, smoky heat that elevates any dish. Very pleased with the purchase.
Took some care to get the seedlings going, but once established, they thrived. The heat level is perfect for my homemade hot sauces.
Planted these in my balcony pots and they�ve flourished beautifully. The chiltepin peppers are tiny but explosively hot�just as described. Great for adventurous cooks.
My garden has never looked better! These heirloom peppers add charm and heat. Birds seem to avoid them, which is a bonus. The flavor in cooking is exceptional, really fresh and bold.
