Big Red Sweet Pepper, introduced in the latter half of the 20th century, quickly became a favorite for its productivity and rich flavor in fact many growers find this open-pollinated variety outperforms hybrids! The large, blocky fruits grow 4 to 6 inches long and up to 5 inches wide, with thick, juicy walls and a crisp texture. They can be harvested green for mild sweetness or fully ripened to deep red for a richer flavor. Sturdy 24- to 36-inch plants thrive in warm, sunny conditions, producing heavy yields all season. Versatile in the kitchen, these peppers are perfect for fresh eating, roasting, stuffing, and preserving. They freeze without blanching, dehydrate for seasoning, and enhance stir-fries, salads, and salsa. Rich in vitamins A, C, and E, plus potassium and B6, Big Red Sweet Peppers are both nutritious and delicious!
