Mild Spice

a firm spicy favourite that packs a punch.

A household staple in the chilli department, fantastic to grow and whilst the green peppers taste almost like a veggie, the red has a sweeter flavour and is often smoked or pickled.

why it's special:

  • Mildly spiced chilli, Scoville scale: 2,500–8,000
  • Hardy nature makes them ideal for the patio pot
  • Perfect for a windowsill kitchen garden.

when to harvest

About growing as a micro green.

Micro greens are eaten fresh and raw, and the fresher the leaves are, the more vitamins and minerals they contain. To grow as a micro green sow densely on firm soil in a 10cm pot, let them grow to 10cm tall before harvesting the baby leaves for your salads.

In The Records

The genus name Amaranthus originally comes from the Greek word Auapavboc meaning "one that does not wither" or 'unfading'. Stands to reason with Amaranth's reputation for loving a heat wave.
