Hangjiao 10 After Glow, a product of Chinese space innovation, is a remarkable chilli variety discovered by Jiang Xingcun in 1987. These chillies, known as “Chinese Space Chilli,” exhibit enhanced size and yield due to exposure to zero gravity during a space mission. The Cayenne-like chillies grow to about 12-15 cm, transitioning from green to a vibrant red as they mature. As part of China’s efforts to address the challenge of feeding a growing population, over 400 plant seed species, including chilli seeds, have been sent into space.
