The Capsicum chinense (Chili) Caribbean Antillais is an exotic chili from the Caribbean, known for its tropical aroma, striking color, and spicy flavor. This variety belongs to the Capsicum chinense species, one of the most well-known chili families, known for its fruity, complex flavor profile and high heat. Caribbean Antillais is ideal for experienced gardeners and culinary enthusiasts who want to grow a powerful, aromatic chili that is both decorative and functional.
The Caribbean Antillais chile produces medium-sized, bell-shaped to oblong fruits that average 5–10 cm in length. The fruits ripen from bright green to bright red or orange, creating a striking, tropical look in the garden. The skin is thin but firm, making the fruits suitable for both fresh cooking and processing.
What distinguishes this variety is the combination of intense heat (averaging 100,000–250,000 Scoville units) with a distinctly fruity aroma. Typical Capsicum chinense , such as citrus, tropical fruit, and floral notes, make this chili popular in Caribbean and Latin American cuisine.
The Capsicum chinense Caribbean Antillais grows into a medium-sized plant, 60–120 cm tall, depending on care. The plants are vigorous, well-branched, and bear numerous fruits simultaneously, making them both productive and decorative.
