About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

An old tomato pepper with flat, round, ribbed fruits that really do recall a small tomato. The thick, juicy flesh ripens from green to a strong red and is particularly sweet and aromatic. Traditionally valued for pickling and preserving, but also a treat fresh in a salad. It needs some warmth and time to ripen fully, but rewards you with full flavour. Open pollinated and easy to save seed from.

Thick fleshed and juicy, and when fully ripe very sweet with a strong, full bodied pepper aroma.
