I was looking at some pepper porn..er, um...pictures, and I came across a sweet pepper at chileplants.com called Yummy Orange. The description is as follows:
sweet; 2 to 2.5 inches long by 1 to 1.25 inches wide; medium thick flesh; matures from green to orange; pendant pods; green leaves; 18 to 24 inches tall; Mid Season; Uses: Fresh Salsas, Small Stuffing; this is the sweet pepper found in clamshells in the supermarket that everyone is talking about; extra sweet and practically seedless makes these good for snacking; C.annuum. http://www.chileplants.com/search.as...Button=Pressed Well, we don't have these in clamshells in my grocery store, so I was wondering if anyone else has had a chance to try them. I love finding out about new peppers and I was wondering about their taste. I'm thinking if they're that good after being picked for the grocery store, what would they be like if they were allowed to ripen on a plant? Anyway, I was just curious. |

I've found them at Kroger, as well as Costco. They come in 3 colors in the clamshell, red, yellow and orange. And yes, they are very yummy.

Ok, I'll put them on my "maybe" list. Wish I could find a seed source rather than a live plant, but I usually place an order with Cross Country, so maybe I'll include one this year.

I bought some of these around new year's, too, but these were only orange. No ID on this package either. I thought they might be yummy peppers, and since they're OP, I did save the seeds and only got about seven! Figured it can't hurt to try them...

I found the peppers (red, yellow,& orange) in the clamshell. The orange was the sweetest of the three. I decided to grow the orange from saved seed last year, and they looked identical to the purchased ones. They were so perfect they almost looked fake. I loved the taste--very sweet and crunchy!
