Unique taste and beauty

The Puta Madre chili variety, which comes directly from Chile, enchants not only with its unique name, but also with its visual presence and variety of tastes. This variety, whose name causes a stir, is characterized by compact growth and a multitude of purple flowers that give any plant a spectacular look. The spherical fruits undergo a fascinating colour transformation from purple/black to an intense red, making them a real eye-catcher.

Cultivation and care

Puta Madre grows optimally in pots and reaches a height of around 40 to 50 cm, which makes it ideal for growing on balconies or in smaller gardens. The dark green leaves and vibrant purple flowers complement the explosion of colour of the ripening fruit. This variety prefers sunny locations and regular but moderate watering to develop its full potential.

Culinary versatility

The Puta Madre chilies offer a sweet, slightly salty flavour that is ideal for making chili powder. Its medium spiciness (spiciness 7) makes it a versatile ingredient in the kitchen - perfect for those who like it spicy without being overwhelmed. Whether fresh, dried or powdered, they enrich every meal with their distinctive taste.
