Description
The NuMex Pumpkin Spice is a specialty ornamental chili developed at New Mexico State University named for its vivid orange color and semi-sweet earthy fruity flavor profile reminiscent of autumn harvest time. The small conical pods ripen to a bright pumpkin-orange carrying moderate heat around 20,000-30,000 SHU and are prized both as decorative plants and in seasonal cooking. Developed for the home gardening and farmers market trade it offers an autumn-themed aesthetic appeal combined with genuine culinary versatility.
