Mata Frade

Description

A unique, semi-wild variety from Brazil with a fascinating character. Mata Frade grows into a compact, bushy plant that thrives even in smaller spaces, making it ideal for pots and balcony growing.

The small, rounded pods ripen to a glowing red-orange, standing out beautifully against the dark green foliage. These chilies have thin walls and a clean, moderate heat level without the sweetness or typical fruity notes found in habaneros. Instead, they deliver a straightforward, sharp chili flavor that really shines in cooking.

When dried and ground, Mata Frade becomes a versatile spice—perfect for rubs, seasoning blends, and adding depth to everyday dishes. Its ornamental appeal and culinary value combine to make this Brazilian treasure both beautiful and practical for any chili grower.
