Further InformationEdit Edit

A C. baccatum with a distinctive starfish shape — flattened with pointed lobes radiating from the center. From Brazil, as the name suggests. Mild to medium heat (5,000–30,000 SHU) with a fruity flavor. The shape is its main selling point and makes for great conversation at farmers markets.
