Habanada - Sweet Pepper

I love these peppers! I do not like heat and these peppers had great taste without that heat. I had several pepper plants that I started indoors in late Feb '18 and they all grew and transplanted well outside around memorial day. They started off slow but by the mid-end of summer I had SO MANY fruit that I couldn't keep up with them! I pickled the remainder by late October since our cold weather came earlier last year and I still had so many left! Some were not ripened but still had great taste. The plants even lasted through the first couple frosts, I did have them completely covered so that helped for a couple weeks. I am definitely going to buy these seeds again!

Very delicate taste, the crunch is more pronounced than the taste. No hint of bitterness. Piles of them can be used in fresh salads. They are great in 3 bean salads, too. A beautiful translucent peachy color. We've received over 200" of rain this year. They are fine with that. I grow them in compost bins with lots of added organic calcium and fertilizer. The wild birds like to eat the tip off. I've saved seed for future use.

I was amazed by these peppers. The flavor was outstanding and made a great snacking pepper. I noticed some peppers that seemed to develop a double placenta (?) were on the verge of spicy but more numbing almost. Did not detract from the peppers though. Only grew 2 plants in 2018, planning on several more for the 2019 season. Starting seeds much earlier this year as the plants definitely take a while to bear mature fruit.

I love these little peppers. The flavor is amazing...that of a hot pepper, but NO heat. I would pop one in my mouth and always have a certain level of trepidation as the taste leads you to believe the painful heat is coming. It never did. The taste always lingered after eating them too. I'm very surprised that other growers have said they have no flavor! The only bummer is that they are very slow to change color...like the last pepper on the farm, even in the hoop house. I still will grow them again!

I grew 4 plants and harvested well over a gallon of small peppers. We used them in salads (with cucumber, tomato) and found they have exceptional fruity flavor (no heat once the membrane and seeds are removed). Definitely worth growing again, and will grow more plants.
