Chilli seeds with balanced heat traditionally originate from cultivation regions such as Mexico, Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean. In these areas, hot chillies have been cultivated for centuries and are used diversely in culinary traditions.
Particularly well-known are Caribbean chilli cultivars of the Habanero-type, which, despite their intense pungency, often possess a distinctly fruity aroma. This combination of fire and flavour makes hot chilli varieties an essential ingredient in many dishes – whether fresh, dried, or processed.
Hot chilli seeds are suitable for both experienced gardeners and ambitious beginners. Many varieties grow well in temperate climates – in the garden, on the balcony, or in pots. A warm location and sufficient light are essential. You can find a detailed step-by-step guide in our Chilli Sowing Instructions.
