Inca Berry: The Andean chili with character

Unique heritage from South America

The Inca Berry, a Capsicum baccatum variety, brings a piece of South American chili tradition to the home garden. This ancient variety, which has its origins in the Andes, is characterized by its robustness and amazing yield. It grows into a stately plant that is between 80 and 100 cm high and forms a sprawling crown. Their adaptability and ease of care make the Inca Berry the ideal choice for chili beginners and experienced gardeners alike.

Fruity taste and versatile uses

The medium-hot, approx. 4 cm long fruits of the Inca Berry develop a pleasantly fruity taste at all stages of ripeness. The ripening from green to red indicates the optimal time for harvesting. In addition to their use in fresh salsas and sauces, the dried fruits are ideal for powder production, which preserves their medium spiciness and fruity aroma. This makes Inca Berry a popular choice for a variety of uses in the kitchen.
