| Description |
The Facing Heaven Pepper is a Capsicum annuum variety widely grown in the Sichuan Province of southwestern China. The plant produces small, cone-shaped, medium-hot chili peppers that are 3-6cm long and 1-2cm in diameter. The peppers have very thin skin and grow with the fruit pointing upwards instead of hanging down. Facing Heaven peppers are fragrant and moderately spicy, with a Scoville heating rating of 10,000 to 50,000 units and a citrus-y flavor. The peppers ripen to a bright red and are lightly cooked in oil or dried and added to dishes whole.
