SNAKE BITE: NAGA MORICH

published on 28/03/2024 The chili pepper Naga Morich, Capsicum Chinense, known for its spiciness and unique character. Originally from the northeastern regions of India, this fruit has long been considered one of the hottest peppers in the world, clocking in at around 1,100,000 Scoville units. The name itself, meaning "snake bite," evokes its intense spiciness. Its pendant fruits, bright red when ripe, offer a fruity aroma reminiscent of apricots and pears.

The Plant

The Naga Morich plant thrives in warm and slightly humid climates, typical of tropical areas. Reaching a height of about 60-80 cm, it can also be grown on house balconies, provided it is provided with high-quality soil and enjoys sunny exposure. Its cultivation is not particularly difficult, but it requires attention to irrigation to avoid water stagnation. It is advisable to plant the seeds in the early warm days of March and transplant them in May-June to avoid the risk of frost.
