The Cheiro Roxa is a Brazilian pepper whose name translates to "smell purple" in Portuguese. It's one of the most beautiful peppers we grow. The pods go through a stunning color transformation from dark purple to pinkish-purple and peach as they ripen.
The flavor is sweet, fruity, and aromatic with a moderate heat that won't destroy you. Not a superhot by any stretch, but it brings a nice kick along with that chinense complexity. The plants are productive and the foliage can have a purple hue too. As much an ornamental as a culinary pepper.
