The Bengal Naga Peach Plant

The plant is very productive, carrying hundreds of fruits with wrinkled, slightly twisted skin that start light green and ripen to a distinctive peach color.

How to Sow Bengal Naga Peach

Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March, keeping temperatures constant at 25-28°C until germination, which may take up to 30-40 days given the high heat of this genotype.

The heat level is extreme (600,000-900,000 SHU): gloves are essential when handling the fruits, carefully avoiding contact with eyes and mucous membranes.

Diseases and Pests of Bengal Naga Peach

It can be affected by aphids, spider mites and whitefly, especially under protected cultivation with poor ventilation; good air circulation reduces the risk of powdery mildew.

Properties and Uses of Bengal Naga Peach

The very high capsaicin content gives strong thermogenic and metabolism-stimulating properties. Dried Bengal Naga Peach pepper, prized for its sweet, fruity flavor free of bitterness despite the extreme heat, is used ground into powder with a distinctive pink-peach color.
