Extra Info:

• A fantastic alternative to Jalapeños due to their similar flavouring and origin.

• If you are a novice gardener, this is a great plant to start with, they are easy to grow and maintain. 

• These chillis are called 'Cherry Bombs' due to their bright red colour, classic cherry shape and thick fleshy fruit walls. A lovely mild chilli which does have a bit heat! The fruit pods are approximately 5cm long and 3cm wide and hang down from the plant like bombs. 

• Cherry Bomb chillis are a staple ingredient for all mild sauces, pickles or salsa, thanks to their fresh and sweet flavour. Or why not try stuffing them with cheese and baking?
