About this variety

Small, round chili peppers approximately 1/2 to 1 inch in diameter, grown primarily in Sindh, Pakistan, as well as Sikkim, India and Ilam, Nepal. These dried peppers are valued for their full-bodied, complex flavor profile and moderate heat. While similar in size to Scotch bonnets, they are less intense and belong to a different species, making them popular in South Asian cuisine and as a component in specialty foods.
