Portugal Pepper, HOT (Capsicum annuum)
The elongated, curved to straight pods of hot Portugal chile peppers have a conical form that tapers to a point on the non-stem end. When mature, the pods may seem twisted and curled, with wrinkled or smooth, waxy, and glossy skin that ripens from green to dark red. The flavour of hot Portugal chile peppers is mild and sweet, with a moderate to intense level of heat that lingers on the palate.
