Chilli ‘Paprika’

‘Paprika’ looks a lot like ‘Birdseye Thai,’ but the mild, spicy taste is completely different. It has long, red, narrow fruit up to 7cm long. Use it fresh or dry and ground into powder or string along a line to dry. The hardy bushes continue to fruit over a long period. On the Scoville heat scale, it grows to around 70cm tall and takes a while to start producing 4,000 units.
