The brilliant colouring, crisp flesh and medium to hot heat make it an unusual and highly productive addition to the chilli garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruits have a lively, fruity flavour beneath their heat and are particularly good roasted, chopped into salsa, made into chutneys and sauces or preserved whole through pickling. They can be used fresh or dried, with the vivid orange fruits bringing both colour and warmth to dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChillies originated in the Americas and have been cultivated for thousands of years, spreading around the world following European contact and becoming integral to cuisines throughout Asia, Africa and Europe. They are naturally rich in vitamin C and carotenoids, while their characteristic heat comes from capsaicinoids concentrated primarily in the internal membranes of the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBulgarian Carrot grows to approximately 50 cm tall and performs best through warm weather in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil.
