Hermosillo Select Chiltepin pepper (Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum) is a legendary wild pepper native to northern Mexico, prized for its fiery heat, fruity complexity, and tiny round fruits.

Often called the “mother of all peppers,” chiltepin delivers an intense, quick-building heat rated at 50,000–100,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). 

Plants produce abundant pea-sized red peppers ideal for salsas, hot sauces, dried pepper flakes, and traditional Southwestern cuisine. 

This select strain from Hermosillo offers reliable germination, strong growth, and authentic flavor true to regional heritage. 

Perfect for collectors, heat lovers, and gardeners seeking a culturally significant, high-heat pepper.
