Hot Pepper Rezha Macedonian Seeds (Vezena Piperka) (Capsicum annuum)
General Description
Rezha Macedonian, also known as Vezena Piperka, is a rare heirloom pepper variety from the Balkans, famous for its deeply wrinkled, corked skin and unique spicy-sweet flavor. The word Rezha means “engraved” in Macedonian, referring to the pepper’s distinct textured surface. Traditionally grown in Macedonia and surrounding regions, this pepper is a staple in Balkan cuisine, often dried, roasted, or used fresh.
Plant Characteristics
This vigorous, bushy plant reaches a height of 70–90 cm, producing long, slender fruits measuring 12–18 cm. The peppers start green and ripen to a deep red, developing their signature corking patterns as they mature. The plant is highly productive and thrives in warm climates, making it an excellent choice for home and commercial cultivation.
Taste and Benefits
Rezha Macedonian peppers have a mild to moderate heat level, typically ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). Their flavor is rich and slightly smoky, with a natural sweetness that balances the heat. The unique corked skin enhances their ability to absorb flavors, making them ideal for roasting, stuffing, and drying for spice blends.
Cultivation Recommendations
• Sowing: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost at 24–30°C (75–86°F).
• Transplanting: Move outdoors once temperatures remain consistently warm, spacing plants 40–50 cm apart.
• Growth Requirements: Prefers full sun, well-draining soil, and moderate watering. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
• Maturity: Peppers ripen in approximately 85–100 days from transplanting.
Uses and Benefits
Perfect for fresh use, roasting, stuffing, drying, and making traditional Balkan spice blends. The thick, wrinkled skin absorbs marinades and seasonings exceptionally well, making it a favorite for grilling and pickling.
Packaging
Each packet contains high-quality, carefully selected seeds to ensure excellent germination and plant vigor.
Shipping Information
Orders are processed within 1–2 days and typically delivered within 1–2 weeks. Available for shipping across India and worldwide.
