Sweet Cayenne
Sweet Cayenne combines the crisp, fruity sweetness of a bell pepper with the earthy, peppery character of a traditional cayenne, but with little to no heat. Plants produce high yields of slender, 12-inch fruit that grow throughout the season. Use them in salads, pizzas, Cole slaws, vegetable medleys, stir-fries, marinades salsa, and sauces. Although classified as sweet, fruit can produce a slight warming heat. Heirloom.

Did you know? Humidity can reduce the viability of pepper seeds over time, causing seeds to stagnate. That’s why every seed pack includes a silica gel packet to help keep the seeds dry and fresh. To save seeds for next year, place the seed packet and silica gel packet together in a quart-size freezer bag, seal it, and store it in the refrigerator. Do not freeze.
