The Pride of Nsukka, Now Fresh from the Caribbean

“Ose Nsukka is not just a pepper, it’s a story of soil, sun, and soul. A flavor born in Nigeria and reborn in the Caribbean.”

Grown on our Caribbean farm from authentic Nigerian seed stock, Fresh Nsùkká Pepper (Ósè Nsùkká, Capsicum sinense nsùkkádrilus), the legendary yellow chili from the hills of Enugu, delivers the same captivating aroma and bright, smoky-citrus flavor that made it beloved across Nigeria’s culinary landscape.

Its distinct blend of smoky-sweet heat and citrusy brightness elevates any dish infusing stews, marinades, and sauces with depth and authenticity.

Our fresh harvest preserves the pepper’s signature fragrance and gentle heat, offering chefs and home cooks alike a pure taste of southeastern Nigeria’s rich terroir.

Why Choose Fresh Nsùkká Peppers?

• Authentic Nsùkká Flavor – Sun-ripened and naturally smoked by the region’s warm climate, delivering a delicate heat with sweet undertones.
• Aromatic & Versatile – Layers of citrus and smoke make it ideal for sauces, soups, grilled dishes, and spice infusions.
• Nutrient-Rich – Packed with vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and metabolism-boosting compounds.
• Farm-Fresh & Traceable – Grown from authentic Nigerian seed stock using regenerative methods on our Caribbean farm.

How to Use

Add Fresh Nsùkká Peppers to stews, pepper sauces, or roasted vegetable dishes for a vibrant, aromatic kick. Grill or roast them lightly to bring out their natural sweetness, or blend into marinades and relishes for smoky depth. Can also be sun-dried for longer storage or turned into house-made Ósè Nsùkká powder.

A Cultivar Rooted in Heritage

Native to the Nsùkká region of Enugu State, this prized pepper has long been the secret behind some of Nigeria’s most beloved dishes. Its cultivation in our Caribbean microclimate mirrors the sunlight and humidity in Nsùkká, allowing us to preserve its unique sensory profile while ensuring year-round availability for the Diaspora market.

Harvest & Processing

Our Fresh Nsùkká Peppers are grown under regenerative, pesticide-free practices and hand-harvested at full maturity. Each batch is cleaned, air-dried, and carefully packed to retain the pepper’s signature scent and color. From farm to kitchen, we maintain cold-chain integrity to deliver freshness and flavor that rivals its Nigerian origin.
