It is the variety most favored by chili processing enterprises in Jize County, Hebei Province, the home of Chinese chili peppers, and is suitable for deep processing such as chopped chili, chili paste and pickling, and can also be made into dried chilies or sold fresh on the market.

3. Hongze No. 1: This variety was bred by crossing Jize chili with Sichuan pepper.

The above varieties have wide adaptability and can be grown in most parts of the country, either in open fields or in greenhouses. They have strong continuous fruit set and can be picked and sold as green peppers, or sold as red peppers. They can be pickled, made into chili paste, chopped chili or sold fresh on the market. Yangjiaohong No. 1 and Hongfeng No. 1 can also be made into dried chilies to extend the sales period when fresh pepper sales are slow. After trial planting in Jize County and multiple locations across the country over the past two years, they have performed well and are deeply welcomed by farmers.
If this chili is not grown locally, you can plant a moderate amount in the first year and then sell it wholesale at nearby vegetable markets. Because this chili is fragrant and delicious when stir-fried, people will buy it even if it is a bit expensive. Even at a wholesale price of 1-3 yuan per jin, growing a few mu of chili can still earn quite a bit of money.
