Sriracha - Spicy Red - (Capsicum annuum)

Sriracha – Spicy Red is the classic chili pepper made famous as the backbone of Sriracha-style hot sauce. Plants are productive and reliable, producing long, smooth, tapered pods that grow to about 5 inches and ripen from green to a deep, glossy red. The peppers have thick walls, firm flesh, and a bold, straightforward heat that balances well with their bright, savory flavor. Heat levels range from mild-medium to moderately hot depending on growing conditions, making these peppers versatile in the kitchen. They’re excellent fresh, sliced into stir-fries, roasted, pickled, or fermented for homemade hot sauces. The juicy flesh and consistent pod size also make them ideal for sauces and powders. Plants are easy to grow, mature relatively early, and perform well in full sun with good airflow. A must-grow variety for anyone looking to produce their own authentic Sriracha-style heat at home.

Heat level: 15,000 to 25,000 SHU – Mild/Medium.

Flavor: Sweet & Fruity.
