Hangjiao 7 Supernova (Chinese Space Pepper)
The Hangjiao 7 Supernova is one of the 10 Chinese space peppers. Chinese scientist, Jiang Xingcun from the Chinese Academy of Sciences found that exposing vegetable seeds to 0 gravity could cause increased mutation rates. Through this technique the 10 Cap. annuum Hangjiao peppers were created. The Supernova’s pods grow up to about 8 inches (20cm) and have thick walls. The plants grow tall and grow plenty of these very large pods. We’ve found the flavour exceptional – nearly too good to just cook with. The mild heat level means it’s perfect for snacking, too.
It has become a favourite among Chinese space pepper growing gardeners – a very specific subset of people but you’d be surprised. There’s a discord channel dedicated to these peppers on the Pepper Lover’s Community page.
