Black Pearl Chili: The dark jewel among chilies

A visual and taste-catcher

The Black Pearl Chili is one of the exquisite types of chili that not only impresses in terms of taste but also visually. Their almost black, shimmering fruits make them stand out from the crowd and add a touch of mysticism to every garden and kitchen. The fruits ripen from purple to black and become dark red when ripe. The leaves shimmer dark purple. This chili is an American cross where particular emphasis was placed on the dark purple-black colour.

Aromatic depth with medium spiciness
