Description

We think this sweet pepper is fabulous - it's liking playing roulette with food!

Most of the peppers grown on this plant will not have much heat, especially if picked as you should, when they are immature and green; if the fruits are allowed to ripen they go red in colour and gather more heat! It's great fun to watch people's reactions when eating the green fruits, as most of them, especially early in the season have no heat at all, but the odd one does! (Please remember to play with care and have a sugar cube to hand to ease the heat!) We have found, over years of growing them, that if the early season is hot and dry they can be a little more spicy - however not all of them! These really can be good fun.

This is a Spanish Tapas pepper and slightly curved and wrinkled in shape, not a huge fruit but a good size, about 2" (5 cm).

The fruits should be picked when they are green and immature.
