Here the Chili picture shown might not resemble the actual Chili of Sibilong Village, but it is for demonstration purpose only the image is used.
Why Sibilong King Chili is famous for
The actual and authentic name of the Village is known as Siguiluang Village. However, in the government record the Village name might have misspelled and it is mentioned as Sibilong Village. The Village is situated at Manipur India, Tousem Sub-Divison, Tamenglong District-P.O 795147. The Sibilong Village King Chili is famous for its unique taste and quality which is appraise by many consumer and awarded by the government of Manipur as the best King Chili in the Northeastern states. Yes, many part of the Northeastern states might have also claim to be the best Chilli in their region but the fact is that none can denied the Chili of Sibilong Village for its outstanding quality and taste. Almost every year, Siibilong Village is awarded as the 1st and 2nd for its best production of Orange in Manipur state. I will try to come up about Orange festival and its best quality from Sibilong Village in the next articles. Likewise, the Chili festival have stared just few years back in local and native village. Hope, the Chili festival will also come up with large programme like the Orange festival at Tamenglong in the coming days. The Sibilong Village Chili looks very sweet and attractive when it is fully ripe. In fact, the taste also has a sense of sweetness and feel a pleasing taste to consume full size Chili without much spicy at the time of meal. The fact is that, very few from the local village also knew the unique taste of its sweetness even if the local have been growing, consuming since very long time. The women vendor from Imphal cities are well expert to identify the authentic King Chili of Sibilong Village or not even if the similar King Chili is mixed and sold in the market. The women vendor from the Imphal can identify the Chili at once by the looks and its taste at the tips of the tongue by its sweetness and shiny looks. They also tear off the part of the Chili and can identify by its sticky which is produce from the Chili. For those who are aware and expertise of the taste can identify the difference either the Chili is from Sibilong Village or not by eating. The Chili has mixed of taste like sweet and spicy unlike the other King Chili. The other King Chilly taste so spicy and feel unpleasant to our tongue and also has a stomach ache. Although the looks and size might be attractive but the inner quality and its uniqueness cannot be compare with the King Chili of Sibilong Village. The King Chili is also used as to treat a skin bonding in medical terms when wound or injuries happen from knife. Many have practiced this medical method to treat wound fingers and also for skin bonding by attaching the piece of King Chili and wrap in a bandage to a wound.
Where and how it is grown
The King Chili can be grown in a Flower Pot, kitchen garden, farming, jhoom cultivation and various ways of practice. Especially the King Chili of Sibilong Village is grown in a pure organic way which is jhoom cultivation. The farmers have never use any types of pesticides to control the pest which can lead to health problem. The King Chili is much healthier and the quality of production is also much better than the used of pesticides and scientific method of growing the plants for mass production. The villager and the farmers not only grown the King Chili but also grown food crops during jhoom cultivation. Their way of doing cultivation is also known as shifting cultivation as they move from one place to another place after harvesting the jhoom for a time being and left the jhoom to fully grown jungle for another few years. The King Chili can be grown from seed or by sapling in a Pot or at the backyard. However, the Northeastern state way of growing King Chili is through sowing seed at jhoom. Through climatic changes, the plants and food crops get rain water to grow healthier. Most of the time the Northeastern part of the state has continuous rainfall which is good for the food crops and at the same times it also has side effect of natural calamities. The King Chili can be grown in various ways at home or at any backyard, however the taste, flavour and production quality is best from jhoom is all because of the soil and the ashes from burning substances which makes the food crops into different level and uniqueness.
Will I have the same quality of Sibilong King Chili if I used the seed to grow at different place
Perhaps, you might be able to grow the Sibilong King Chili by sowing the seed, sapling, or various ways of growing the plants. By using the pesticides and scientific method the King Chili might look much better in size and mass production than the Sibilong King Chilli but the uniqueness that the King Chili produced from the land of Sibilong Village might not be able to resemble because of the soil, environment, climate and God gifted nature. The land itself is only suited to be unique for Sibilong King Chili. That’s the reason, the Chili is famous for its taste and flavour.
How the King Chili is kept for a long duration
Fresh King Chili cannot be kept for a long duration due to its nature. They can be kept in a freezer for a time being for day to day used. Therefore, the villager and the farmers sold some quantity of Chili to a vendor at a negotiable market rate by weighted Kg and the rest is kept for a later used and consuming. The mass production which is harvested from the jhoom cannot be sold at once and consume at once due to durability, market demand and transportation from the village. Sometimes the pedicel of the Chili is not remove in order to keep the King Chili fresh and extend its duration from getting rotten. Again, if the Chili happen to rotten or loss its durability is kept separated from the fresh Chili and removed the seed from the Chili and let it to dried by smoke in a traditional way. The traditional dried smoke King Chili is more costly than the fresh Chili in a market as well because of the light weight and much quantity is needed to weight into Kg. The dried smoke Chili is than packed in a weighted packaged and supplied to vendor for sell. The seed is also kept in safer place and let it dried in Sun so that the seed can be used to sow later at jhoom when the jhoom cultivation season comes again.
Will the villager be able to produce mass production of King Chili from jhoom
Assuredly, the villager will be able to produce mass production of quality check King Chili if the infrastructure is built for the farmers. At present the farmer cannot rely only for the production of King Chili as the Chili itself cannot sustain their needs to survive. Therefore, they sow some parts of the Chili seed and also other essential food crops in jhoom to fulfil their need at some extend. In future, if the government or any reliable source come up to grow King Chili for the mass production and export globally, then the villager and the farmers would have increase their production capability or later start only in King Chili farming which could have reduce the manpower and help them sustain their financial support and live a better life.
