Sweet Chocolate Pepper Organic Heirloom

€3,30 EUR
10

Sweet Chocolate Pepper is an American heirloom variety bred by Elwyn Meader and released by the University of New Hampshire in the 1960s. It is an early-maturing sweet pepper known for its striking chocolate-brown skin that contrasts with its brick-red interior flesh. The fruits are medium-sized, blocky, and have a mild, sweet flavour, making them excellent eaten fresh, in salads, or lightly roasted. Its unique colour and reliable performance even in cooler climates have made it a favourite among gardeners and market growers.
