Sam's peppers
 

MyWe have been buying red sweet peppers from Sam's Club for several months. They come in a bag of seven or eight. They are about 7 or 8 inches long. Name on the package is Ancient Sweets.....anybody know exactly what variety they are? They are great peppers! Thanks.

I'd like to know as well. I saved seed from them to plant this year in the hopes that they're OP. I did some googling at the time but can't remember what the heck I found out, other than it wasn't anything certain. My google powers are somewhat lacking, however.

Per Sam's Club...

"This beautiful European variety pepper is nurtured on the vine to ensure it maintains a super sweet taste like no other. Their exotic, unique appearance with very few seeds and hollow interior make them a great snack. "


Apparently it is a trademark name and may be a hybrid. A couple people report growing them from saved seed and they were different. Of course they grew them in the garden not a greenhouse. There is some discussion of it here from 2010...
