Brazilian Starfish (Red) Pepper Seeds

Brazilian Starfish Pepper

Brazilian Starfish is a unique and highly productive heirloom pepper from Brazil, known for its unusual star-shaped fruits and delicious sweet heat! This beautiful Capsicum baccatum variety produces flattened, deeply ribbed peppers approximately 1–2 inches wide that resemble tiny starfish. Fruits start green and ripen to a gorgeous, glossy red, creating a stunning display in the garden.

Brazilian Starfish offers a wonderful combination of sweetness, fruity flavor, and a surprising kick of heat! The outer edges of the pepper tend to be milder and sweeter, while the center surrounding the seeds packs more heat. Excellent for fresh snacking, salsas, pickling, hot sauces, or adding a unique touch to your favorite dishes.

Plants are vigorous, heavily branching, and extremely productive, often reaching 4–6 feet tall or more in favorable conditions. The sprawling plants can become absolutely loaded with hundreds of colorful, star-shaped peppers throughout the season. A fun and unusual variety that's sure to be a conversation starter in any garden!
