Sweet - Capriglio Red

I found this Italian heirloom while at the 2010 Slow Food Conference in Torino, Italy. I was so taken by it shape, size, and flavour, that I just had to bring it home to grow out and take to market. Plants reach 2 - 21/2 feet tall and produce high yields of incredibly sweet and flavourful fruit  that average 3-4" at the shoulder and 3" long. . Our kids can't get enough of them, they rarely make it to the kitchen. When they do however, they make great stuffed peppers.This is a great pepper for first time pepper growers as well. This pepper has been designated a Slow Food Italy Ark Of Taste.
