Pepper - Tibetan Lhasa

The Tibetan Lhasa pepper is a small, vibrant chili pepper native to the Himalayan region, particularly Tibet. Known for its moderate heat and distinct, aromatic flavor, this pepper is a staple in Tibetan cuisine. It is often used in dishes like thukpa (a noodle soup) and momo (dumplings), where its mild spice adds a unique depth without overwhelming other flavors. The Lhasa pepper’s heat level is lower than that of many common chili varieties, making it more accessible to those who prefer a milder spice. Its bright red color and slightly smoky taste make it versatile in various culinary applications.
