This chili pepper offers a mild heat with a rich, slightly fruity flavor that pairs exceptionally well with cheese. Compared to green bell peppers, it stands out for its dense texture and deep green color, never becoming watery. It is highly versatile, performing well both fresh and dried, and plays an important role in traditional Mexican cooking. The heat level is gentle, and removing the inner ribs easily eliminates most of the spice. This variety has been carefully selected for early ripening and reliable yields, especially in cooler climates with shorter growing seasons.
