Smooth White Chilli Pepper – 10 Seeds

Species: Capsicum chinense
Origin: Caribbean / modern white chinense line

Description

Smooth White is a striking pale-coloured chinense chilli, producing smooth, glossy pods that ripen to a creamy white / ivory finish. Unlike many super-hots, this variety combines strong heat with a clean, citrus-forward flavour and a noticeably less aggressive bitterness.

Plants are vigorous and productive, forming tidy bushes loaded with uniform, lantern-shaped pods. Smooth White is popular with growers looking for colour contrast, heat, and excellent sauce potential.
