Bengal Naga Peach

Bengal Naga Peach Chilli Seeds. The Bengal Naga Peach (C. Chinense) is thought to be cross of Bhut Jolokia and Dorset Naga. The original strain we understand was red. Since then and somewhere along the lines a peach variant of this variety has joined the ranks.

We love this variety. It’s an all round winner. It is super sexy with its lovely bhut phenos and peach colour. A very textural exterior adds a sense of imminent danger to this variety – and deservedly so! This is a very hot chilli indeed. A great grower, producing large chinense plants and super yields of pods. We estimate the heat to be around the 1 million SHU mark, but the burn from these beauties is perceptively much worse. Flavour is just spot on, fruity, sweet, and that typical bhut aroma and flavour. All round a fantastic and very unsual variety indeed.

Grow Difficulty: Average

Days to Germination: Typically germinates within 7–14 days

Days to Harvest: Harvest when the pods turn fully peach-coloured (usually around 90–120 days after transplant)

Culinary Uses:

• Create a supercharged chilli powder
• Craft a hot sauce (use sparingly!)
• Add a touch of Naga Peach to your favourite dishes for intense heat and fruity flavour

Recipe Inspiration:

• Try infusing olive oil with dried Naga Peach chillies for a fiery drizzle over pizzas or grilled vegetables.
