Chilahuacle Negro

This was an exciting addition in 2019: a very rare brown pointy-bell chilli. When ripe, the flesh inside is deep red-purple, and really quite hot indeed.

They dry easily, and when dried, it is ground and used as a key ingredient in the classic ‘mole negro’ black sauce from Oaxaca, Mexico.

About 1-2ft tall. Good flavour. Seed crop grown for us by Melissa Holloway in Wales.
