About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
This Spanish beauty bears egg shaped fruits with striking white and violet striping that turns any bed into an eye catcher. It ripens mid early and stays rewarding even in cooler summers if you give it a warm, sheltered spot. The pale flesh is mild and sweetish with few bitter compounds, ideal for grilling and frying. Being open pollinated, you can save your own seed and the striping is preserved.
Strikingly mild and sweetish, with a thin skin and a tender, almost creamy texture.
