Chiltepin Sonoran Chilli Seeds – 10 Fresh Seeds
Chiltepin Sonoran, often called the “mother of all chillies,” is a wild Capsicum annuum native to the Sonoran Desert. These tiny round fruits may be small in size, but they pack a fiery punch, often reaching 50,000–100,000 SHU on the Scoville scale. Traditionally harvested from the wild by hand, Chiltepin has been treasured for centuries in Mexican and Native American cuisine.
The fruits ripen from green to bright red and deliver an intense, quick burst of heat that fades faster than many other chillies, making them perfect for salsas, sauces, and pickling. Plants can grow into sprawling bushes that thrive in warm climates and are known for their resilience in tough conditions.
A true heirloom of the desert, Chiltepin Sonoran is a must-grow for chilli enthusiasts who appreciate history, tradition, and a fiery bite straight from nature.
SHU: 50,000-100,000
