Takes a long time to reach maturity. Sharp, stingy heat concentrating on the tongue. Adds heat to a dish but not flavor. Only gave it 3* because of the long time to maturity compared to other Indian chillies like Lal Mirch which produces red pods much quicker and is way more productive than Mettupalayam.
