HAWAIIAN KONA PEPPER SEEDS

Hawaiian Kona Pepper Seeds – 10+ Florida Grown Seeds

🌋 Small in size, volcanic in flavor—Hawaiian Kona is a traditional island pepper known for its fiery kick and rich heritage. Native to Hawaii and part of the Capsicum frutescens family (like the Tabasco), this pepper is a favorite in local dishes like chili pepper water and island-style hot sauces.

The compact, bushy plants produce upright-growing pods that ripen from green to bright red and pack a serious punch—typically between 60,000 to 80,000 Scoville Heat Units. The flavor is sharp, clean, and slightly smoky, making it ideal for infusing oils, drying, or adding to any dish that needs a tropical twist of heat.
