A true standout amongst its Indian counterparts, the Bangalore Torpedo Chilli is renowned for its impressive yields.
This variety of chilli is able to reach a height of up to one meter in a pot and is larger when grown in the ground. Its wide and bushy nature produces an abundance of 10-12 cm long pods with a transition from light green to a vibrant red at full maturity. Occasional twisting may occur, although the majority remain bent.
Moderate spiciness, Bangalore Torpedo Chilli is suited for most dishes and can be used in salads or used to bring a hint of heat to a stir-fry.
Overall the Bangalore Torpedo Chilli is a great plant to have in your chilli collection. We love cooking with these chillies and find they have a distinctive similar taste to black pepper when cooked in dishes.

Species Capsicum frutescens
Origin India
Heat Level (Scoville Rating) Medium (30,000-50,000 SHU)
Pod Description Reaching up to 13cm in length and 1cm in width, Bangalore Torpedo Chilli pods mature from light green to a vibrant red colour upon fully maturing, exhibiting traits of curling or twisting such as a pig's tail.
Also known as None
Bangalore Torpedo Chilli will require some space to grow as this plant tends to spread out unless trained. Its spreading growth habit makes it easy to maintain and allows for a larger overall yield of chillies.
For the pickling of the chillies start by washing them thoroughly, then puncturing the flesh with a few holes to make the pickling liquor's job easier. Pack as many chillies as you can into a sanitized jar to enable individual chilli-pulling later. Prepare your pickling liquor by combining 500ml water, 500ml vinegar and 2 teaspoons of non-iodised salt.

I am amazed how quickly these have germinated. The first ones were showing after 4 days. Very happy with the seeds and the whole transaction. Thank you.

I’ve bought several packets of seeds from Bishybarnabeescottsgegarden. Always great quality and great service. Thank you again
From ordering, receiving my gorgeously wrapped box, opening to reveal copper coloured shiny tins with beautiful labels. To smelling the fantastic fragrance, I was overwhelmed with the seamless flow of this purchase. Highly recommended and I’ll definitely try out more flavours.
Ordered these as I saw one growing wild in my garden and thought was lovely. Seeds arrived very promptly, part of a small batch of various seeds, along with a free gift which was very much appreciated. Will certainly buy again and am looking forward to seeing the plants next year.
amazing germination on these seeds. looking forward to lots of beautiful spring flowers
Seeds sown directly outdoors last summer, all germinated and formed lovely silvery rosettes, and half have now also thrown up flower stalks and are producing stunning vivid pink flowers. I’m hopeful that the other half may do the same next summer. Great seeds, well packaged, excellent instructions - many thanks!
I've never grown Hesperis (sweet rocket) until this year, but Melanie's seeds were so successful and prolific, that I now have beautiful flowers wafting their amazing aroma around my garden...plus our honey bees are so happy 🐝 In fact lots of pollinators are visiting!
