A high-yielding glossy-yellow chilli with all the wonderful flavour of a Habanero with very little heat. Picked when the lantern-like fruits turn yellow, ‘Trinidad Perfume’ is great for salads or used like sweet pepper, for a smoky, citrus flavour. It makes an excellent seasoning for Caribbean-style food. Needs a long season to fruit and mature so it is best to sow early as possible in the year.
- Humans/Pets: Irritant if eaten; skin/eye irritant
