Guizhou’s Spiciest Market Trade

These aren’t just any chili peppers—these are Dafang wrinkled chilies, a famous variety from Guizhou province in China. Farmers harvest them by hand, picking long, slender pods that range from green to bright red. Once gathered, the stems are tied into tight circular bundles, almost like wreaths, making them easier to carry, dry, and sell. After drying, the skin turns deeply wrinkled and the color shifts into a rich red, which gives them their name.

What makes these peppers special isn’t only the heat—it’s the texture and flavor. The wrinkles allow oil and spices to cling better, creating the strong taste that Guizhou cuisine is known for. They’re used in stir-fries, pickles, and chili oil, where just a handful can transform a dish.
At local markets, these bundles aren’t just food—they’re a symbol of the region’s spice and tradition, proudly carried home by buyers in bulk.
