Manganji Pepper
Latin Name:
Capsicum annuum ManganjiThe famous and flavorsome sweet chili of historic Japan. Manganji is recognized as a traditional cultural vegetable in Kyoto, Japan, where it is celebrated as the King of Japanese Chili peppers. It’s known for a certain earthiness in flavour which, coupled with its sweetness, makes it easy to use in a wide variety of dishes.
Manganji chile peppers are native to Maizuru, which is a city in the Kyoto prefecture of Japan and was created in the 1920s by Japanese growers. Believed to be a cross between a fushimi togarashi and a California wonder bell pepper variety, Manganji chile peppers are descendants of original pepper varieties that were introduced from Central and South America by Portuguese explorers in the 16th century.
