About Brazilian Starfish

(Capsicum baccatum) Unique, star-shaped fruit. The baccatum pepper species originated in Peru, but this variety was domesticated in Brazil. Brazilian Starfish boasts complex floral and fruity tones perfectly offset by medium heat. Expect surprises when snacking on this pepper. The fruit varies in heat but is often medium spicy, sometimes exceeding the heat of jalapeños. Fruit is always juicy and quite sweet. The curious-looking fruit reaches 2 inches in width, ripening to brilliant red at maturity. Plants are vigorous and unusual, having an almost weeping, vine-like habit. Slow to yield but, by the end of the season, amazingly prolific.
