Capsicum annuum
Originating from Xalapa in eastern Mexico, this flavorful chili pepper has a unique, fruity aroma and a strong, yet not fiery, heat.
Widely consumed in Mexico and the United States in all kinds of dishes, it is also an essential ingredient in the Asian sauce sriracha.
Salsa, tacos, fajitas, guacamole, marinades, soups, stews... deliciously spice up all your dishes. It also pairs very well with eggs and chocolate.
