UCHU CREAM PEPPER SEEDS

10+ Organically Grown Seeds — Uchu Cream Pepper

A rare and beautiful pepper from Bolivia, Uchu Cream is prized for its unusual coloration, excellent productivity, and versatile culinary uses. The name “Uchu” comes from the Quechua word for pepper, reflecting the variety’s South American heritage. This distinctive pepper produces elegant cream-colored fruits that stand out dramatically among the more common red, orange, and yellow varieties.

The compact, productive plants produce abundant crops of slender, pendant peppers that mature from green to a soft creamy ivory color. The fruits typically reach 3–5 inches (7–12 cm) in length and have a smooth, attractive appearance that makes them equally appealing in the garden and on the plate.

Unlike many ornamental peppers, Uchu Cream is grown primarily for its excellent flavor. The fruits offer a pleasant level of heat combined with a rich, fruity pepper taste. Their balanced flavor makes them useful both fresh and cooked, while the unique cream coloration creates visually striking sauces, powders, and fresh dishes.

Plants are productive throughout the season and perform well in garden beds, raised beds, and containers. Their manageable size and abundant harvests make them an excellent choice for growers looking to add something uncommon to their pepper collection.

Whether you’re attracted by its unusual color, South American heritage, or versatile culinary qualities, Uchu Cream is a distinctive pepper that deserves a place in any specialty pepper garden.
