The Red Pepperoncini is a mild chilli pepper, measuring between 100 and 500 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). Its slender, wrinkled pods mature from light green to vibrant red, offering a tangy and slightly sweet flavour with a hint of bitterness. Commonly pickled, Red Pepperoncini adds zest to salads, sandwiches, and antipasto platters. This Capsicum annuum variety thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, typically maturing in over 75 days after planting. Originating from Italy, it’s a staple in Mediterranean cuisine.

Seeds Quality

All seeds are harvested from plants that are grown at the ChilliChump homestead, ensuring complete control over the growing process. Every seed is handpicked from healthy plants, and processed with methods we have optimised over the years. The seeds are then tested to ensure they meets our high standards for germination and growth.

While we use isolation methods for our seeds that are more stringent than many others in the industry, there is still a small risk of cross pollination or genetic regression (especially for newer hybrids). The only way to TRULY isolate chilli varieties is to grow just one variety within a quarter-mile to a mile radius from any other chilli pepper variety. You can see the comments and reviews online from our many satisfied and happy customers, and you can check out the ChilliChump YouTube channel for his yearly updates on his chilli growing to see where your seeds come from. On the rare occasion you have seeds from us that you aren’t happy with, please get in touch.

Rated 5 out of 5

Steve (verified owner) – April 26, 2024

100% germination, 6 weeks since germination and already potted up and at 6 inches
However, the leaves are lighter coloured than other varieties and appear to be more delicate. The leaves are curling over due to what I believe to be too much light. They have been treated the same as other varieties but are more delicate.
