Now in our twentieth year, Chillis Galore are Richard & Kathy, who started growing chillis in 1990 in Spixworth near Norwich UK, mainly to obtain some different varieties to use in home cooking. To start with they were mainly Mexican varieties such as Ancho's and Passila's, the hottest variety then was the Red Habanero from the Caribbean. After a few successfull years of chilli growing the website was started to share this knowledge, and over the years it has grown in popularity with now huge following worldwide.
This led on to us developing our own range of homemade chilli jellies, relishes and sauces in March 2000, which is still done the same way today, in our home kitchen, now in Drayton near Norwich. Every year we still grow our plants in greenhouses in our back garden where we grow different varieties each year to show, sell and use in our own products which involves keeping up with and growing the latest trending super hot chillis. The last few years have seen a slowdown in the quest for the "Hottest" chilli but with the continuing crossing of the superhot chillis there are still plenty of varieties to try and experiment with, although after all these years now we have our favourites.
All of our products are still handmade by only Kathy in our home kitchen to our own developed recipes over the years. We do not add any colourants or bulking agents just letting the individual natural flavours and heat of the chilli peppers come through giving a fresh and vibrant flavour. All products contain fresh chilli pods to ensure maximum flavour and cooked in small batches in two stainless steel pots and then hand filled and sealed. The labels have been designed by us, home printed and hand labelled at home. All aspects of all of our products are still managed from our home, even down to deliveries around East Anglia.

Chilli Growing
We have now grown chillis successfully for over 25 years, starting off with limited strains available in the UK. All this is documented in our online diaries, with a page on the equipment we have used throughout this time.

Buying new fresh seeds should give you a better chance of germination and a true strain of chilli. Undecided on what to grow have a look at our varieties pages or growing diaries which may help you decide.
Chilli Diaries 2000 - 2020
Over the years we have tried and tested different growing systems which are all documented in our diaries from 2000, growing many different strains.
We have now settled on using the self watering Quadgrows from 2016 onwards and now grow mainly for our hot sauces each year.
