Rezha Macedonian Pepper Seeds – 10+ Florida Grown Seeds
The Rezha Macedonian, also known as Vezeni Piperki or “embroidered pepper,” is a one-of-a-kind heirloom from North Macedonia. These long, slender peppers are instantly recognizable by their dramatic corking—raised, thread-like striations that make them look stitched or “engraved,” hence the name Rezha.
With a flavor that’s smoky, slightly sweet, and just enough heat to keep things interesting, this pepper is a staple in Balkan kitchens. Perfect for drying, roasting, or stringing up for display, it’s as ornamental as it is edible.
