Mako Kokoo - Seeds

Mako Kokoo (Capsicum chinense)

The Mako Kokoo is a prized West African pepper known for its bold heat and rich flavor. Originating from Ghana, these slender, wrinkled pods ripen from green to a deep red and average 3–4 inches long with a tapered end. The heat sits firmly in the upper habanero range, paired with a sweet, nutty profile and a hint of smokiness. Plants are vigorous and productive, often growing over 5 feet in the ground while still performing well in pots. The flavorful pods excel in hot sauces, salsas, seasoning powders, and traditional African dishes where both heat and depth are essential. Rare, distinctive, and full of character, the Mako Kokoo offers a flavorful burn that stands out in any garden or kitchen.
