Mini Bonnet: A South American aromatic miracle

Unique aroma and appearance

The Mini Bonnet, a type of chili from South America, impresses with its unique aroma and characteristic appearance. With a spiciness level of 2 on the Scoville scale, this variety offers a perfect balance between spice and the sweet, fruity taste with a hint of peach. The compact, almost pumpkin or hat-like fruits reach a size of 2 - 4 cm and ripen to a bright red.

Ideal growing conditions

Mini Bonnet plants are characterized by a growth height of around 80 - 120 cm, which makes them an ideal candidate for growing in pots or in the garden. Their white flowers, decoratively adorned with green stripes, are not only eye-catching, but also signal the beginning of fruit formation.

Versatile use

Despite their moderate spiciness, mini bonnets can be used in many ways in the kitchen. They are ideal for fresh consumption, as an aromatic addition to salads and salsas or for making mild chili sauces. Their unique aroma gives every dish a special touch.
