Onza Amarillo Hot Pepper – Mexican Golden Chili

Capsicum annuum | Annual | Origin: Mexico

A striking and productive Mexican chili variety, the Onza Amarillo delivers slim, gangly fruits on tall, vigorous plants that reach approximately 1 meter (3+ feet) in height. Pods ripen from green to a vivid golden yellow-orange, carrying a medium-high heat (6/10 on the heat scale) and a bright, fresh flavor that’s exceptional fresh in salsas and dried for chili powders. Strong, bold fruits with an eye-catching color make this an excellent choice for gardeners who want something authentically Mexican with serious culinary versatility.
