This Native Black Chilli is an ancient landrace passed down through generations in Southern Indian tribal and rural farming families, especially found in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and parts of Karnataka. The black color is a natural expression of anthocyanins, rare in chillies and a marker of potent antioxidants. At HOOGA Seed Keepers Collective, we work with local seed stewards who grow these chillies using organic and regenerative methods, preserving their full vitality and cultural value.
