Originating from Brazil, the hot, smokey-sweet pepper was introduced to my Uncle Ike by the natives there. They grew these pepper plants by Their back doors, for easy access to enhance the flavor of their meat and rice dishes. Uncle Ike brought these seeds over from Brazil and we have cultivated this tradition in the United States. Bode Pepper isn’t a national brand of pepper. So, we get this seed from the Bode Peppers, we farm ourselves. So, all Food products made from Bode Pepper will only be available at Brazilian Pepper Co.
