Challuaruro Chili: A colourful Andean wonder

Colourful diversity

The Challuaruro chili comes from the diverse cultures of South America, more precisely from Peru, and impresses with a true spectacle of colour on a plant. It offers an incomparable display of colours and is not only a feast for the eyes in the garden, but also brings an exotic touch to the kitchen. It is particularly popular for preparing Thai dishes, where it shines with its unique aroma.

Easy to care for and adaptable

Their attractiveness is emphasized by the ease of care and adaptability to various climatic conditions. With a moderate height of 50 to 80 cm, Challuaruro is ideal for growing at home, be it in the garden, on the balcony or in the apartment. This variety thrives both outdoors and under sheltered conditions.

Culinary versatility

The challuaruro is an enrichment not only visually but also in terms of taste. Their excellent aroma goes wonderfully with Thai dishes. The possible uses are diverse: from fresh applications to drying to grinding into powder. The fruits, which initially grow upright and later bend under their weight, offer a highlight both visually and in terms of taste.
