Cumari do Pará Pepper: The Unmistakable Aroma of the Amazon
The Cumari do Pará is a Brazilian cultivar belonging to the Capsicum chinense species. It is an icon of Northern Brazilian cuisine, especially popular in Pará and other Amazonian regions, being a staple of the famous Brazilian "aromatic peppers" (pimentas-de-cheiro).
Heat Level and Flavor
Cumari do Pará is rated with medium to high heat, generally ranging from 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville Units (SHU). Its standout feature is the flavor: it has a strong, fruity, and slightly citrus aroma that is unmistakable. This unique profile seasons complex dishes by adding a distinct aromatic note rather than just heat.
Aesthetics and Ripening
The fruits are small, round or oval (1 to 3 cm). The plant is vigorous and highly productive. The pepper ripens from green to an intense and bright yellow, making it visually appealing and perfect for colorful preserves.
Recommended Use
An essential ingredient for moquecas, stews, and fish soups. It is most often used in vinegar or olive oil preserves and served as a table condiment to accompany feijoada and savory dishes.
Cumari do Pará - SHU 300,000. Pack of 10 selected seeds, with identification sticker of species, origin and heat.
