Kroo Town Street Market Pepper Seeds – 10 Fresh Seeds
Kroo Town Street Market Pepper is a rare Capsicum chinense variety originating from Freetown, Sierra Leone, where it is traded in the busy street markets of the Kroo Town area. True to many West African chinense types, it delivers a sweet, fruity aroma followed by a lively, penetrating heat. Plants are productive and carry lantern-shaped pods that ripen to a rich red or orange depending on the line.
Although little formally documented, this pepper represents the kind of local, open-pollinated market strain that has been selected over generations for flavour, aroma, and reliability in hot coastal climates. Its heat level sits firmly in the hot category, making it ideal for traditional pepper sauces, stews, relishes, and drying for spice blends.
Growers can expect vigorous plants with good yields, especially in warm conditions or under glass in cooler regions. As an open-pollinated strain, it may show some natural variation, but that’s part of its charm and heritage. A great choice for collectors and anyone interested in authentic West African chilli flavour.
