Ali Cristal Pepper Starter

Capsicum baccatum

ORGANIC

These waxy translucent peppers from Chile are unique in that they are best eaten when immature. Unripe peppers are a very pale tea green with an incredibly juicy and crunchy texture. Flavor is bright and citrus forward with a pleasant clean heat. About 30,000 SHU. Makes an amazing salsa with cucumbers and lime basil or an authentic Pebre.

Fruits are ready to harvest almost as soon as they appear, around 70 days from transplant. Plants are very prolific. Produces just as well in the cool Hudson Valley as it did in the hot humid Midwest.
