Long Indian Pepper Seeds
An heirloom pepper variety originally from Hubli, India. These peppers are long (5-6”), thick walled and spicy. They’re the classic Indian chillies, an essential for any and all South Asian cooking.
The plant itself is extremely prolific, sending out dozens of chillies that go from green to orange to red, affecting the spice level with it. The is our most favorite pepper variety on the farm. Perfect for those who like to have a few spicy green peppers to munch on with their meals. We have also made a delicious achaar (Indian pickle) using these green peppers and green mango. When the peppers turn red we like to put them in the oven on the lowest heat to quickly dry them down and either blend them into a chilli powder or into chilli flakes. Highly recommend using the chilli flakes for a chilli crisp! They have the perfect heat and smokiness.
These seeds were gifted to us by one of our customers at the Irvington Farmers Market in Fremont. He brought them back from his hometown of Hubli, in the Southern State of Karnataka, India. We have been stewarding this variety for the past four years.
25 seeds per packet.

A super prolific pepper variety typically used in the powdered form to add color and heat to dishes. The fresh pepper has bright, citrusy notes and medium pungency. We love using the fresh pepper in cooked dishes. It adds the perfect amount of heat without being too overbearing. Just be careful if eating the peppers straight off the plant like we do… Some are much hotter than others!
This pepper variety was the first on our farm to turn red, despite our cooler climate. These plants tend to topple over because of how many peppers it produces at the same time so plan to stake or help support the plant. Can benefit from some shade if temperatures exceed 90 degrees.
Harvest peppers when red, place in oven on the lowest setting until peppers are totaly dry and blend into a powder or chili flake. We also really enjoyed cooking with the green pepper. It’s slight heat was a great addition to stir-frys and sautees!

Capsicum annuum
Hailing from Karnataka, India these are one of the most popular South Asian chillies out there! Known for its dried wrinkled skin and vibrant red hue, these peppers are usually ground up into a spice and added to various dishes to impart its deep red color. We were a bit suprised by how little heat these fiery red peppers contained. We could eat them straight from the plant and they were oddly almost sweet! It was hard for our brains to comprehend since these peppers look exactly like our Long Indian Chillies, which are much spicier and not enjoyable at all to eat straight from the plant!
Each plant is a prolific producer of these peppers that start off green and slowly turn red throughout the Summer. We could see these peppers being great for a chilli crisp, especially for those that don’t like super spicy food! And of course, these are a great pepper for anyone wanting to make South Asian food.
To make the ground spice, harvest peppers when red and lay out to dry in a warm, sunny area. Alternatively, you can place the fresh peppers on a pan in the oven at the lowest temperature. Make sure not to burn the peppers. Blend up the dried peppers and store in a glass jar.

Capsicum annuum
A light green, straight and smooth pepper with thick flesh. The medium pungency gives these peppers just the right kick for dipping in chickpea batter and making bhajia (pakoda). Plants are vigorous, producing 7-8 inch long peppers. Plants are early maturing and prolific producers.
We’re not joking when we say these plants produced so many peppers we’ve never seen anything like it. This variety starts producing earlier than all of our other pepper varieties and continues all the way until frost! Peppers are also great for making a quick achaar (indian pickle) or grilling!
Our seeds are originally from the Gujarat region of India.

VERY prolific producer of medium spice level chillies perfect for cooking with! This variety hails from the Guntur District of Andhra Pradesh, India, the largest chilli growing region of South Asia. We loved the versatilitiy of these chillies. Great for cooking with while still green or in a chilli pickle (achaar), and once they turned red we dried them on the lowest setting in the oven and ground them down into a chilli powder!
Each plant produces dozens (seriously, prodably over 100 peppers each) so you’ll have plenty of peppers to cook with!
