Turkish Snake Chilli
Capsicum Annuum
“An awesome producer of long curly pods”
Turkish Snake is a very cool looking and rare chilli pepper from Turkey.
The plant grows to about 60 cm in a pot and it is an awesome producer of long curly pods, which shares the appearance like that of a snake. The pods are about 20 cm long, start green and end up red when they are mature.
They have a stingy burn which makes them great for a stir-fry, for pickling or just chopped up and sprinkled over your dinner.
Flavour: They have a sweet flavour.
Heat level: Mid Heat

We grow this pepper every year, it’s a staple in our household and our friends ask for it! Our original seeds came from The Hippy Seed Company. The plant grows to about 5-6 feet in a 5 gallon pot and likes the stability of a tomato cage to hold it up. It’s a heavy fruiter and will provide unique curly shaped 5-10″ peppers all season long and only finishes once the frost hits. It has a sharp stingy bite to it – medium heat. Goes great in oriental stir fry – with noodles its our favorite. Also a great condiment finely chopped in soy sauce. Dried as flakes or powder it can be used like cayenne pepper.
