Pepper, Sweet: Habanada

The very first heatless habanero! This pepper has all the same great fruity flavor and production as its hot cousin but can be enjoyed by even the biggest sissies. 

Crisp, thin-walled, 2-3 in. fruit bred at Cornell University, the Habanada Sweet Pepper is a flavor bomb for eating fresh—seeds and all. Also, excellent when braised or roasted. Chefs and foodies love adding these peppers to desserts and even cocktails! Eat at the green stage when they are quite aromatic or allow them to ripen to orange for maximum flavor.

The plants stayed less than 1.5ft. tall and didn't splay out too much. The branches were stout enough to withstand the weight of heavy production. The fruits hold their quality for a long time on the plant.
