AURORA CHILI SEEDS - RARE - 10 SEEDS

Origin: Mexico

With its rounded bulb-like shape and its many colors, the aurora pepper is a real crowd pleaser in the garden. It brightens a space – like its name suggests – with shades of green, purple, yellow, orange, and red all on the same pepper plant. It’s a looker – like multi-hued Christmas bulbs – yet behind that beauty is a pepper with some real heat. It delivers a cayenne level spice, with an overall neutral peppery flavor, making the aurora pepper a good fit for colorful spicy salsas.
It’s surprisingly spicy for something with this candy-like array of colors. The aurora pepper ranges from 30,000 to 50,000 on the Scoville scale which is the same range as the common cayenne pepper found on your spice rack. Compared to our jalapeño reference point, the aurora comes in significantly hotter – four to twenty times spicier than a jalapeño pepper depending on the two chilies measured.
This chili is named very well. Aurora is Latin for dawn and it’s equally well-known for the Aurora Borealis (or northern lights) – a natural light display where patches of the sky turns shades of green, violet, yellow, and red. The aurora pepper really lights up a garden in a similar way.
