Feeling chef-y? Get your hands on these flavorful, fruity, sweet bell peppers! These are peppers that will be the perfect addition to the deliciously cooked gourmet dish. The Gourmet F1 pepper is a hybrid pepper in its first generation, and one of the most brilliant orange peppers that we’ve seen and grown.
The Switzerland-bred Gourmet pepper plant is prolific, resistant to the Tobacco Mosaic Virus, and produces heavy yields of 5” long plentiful peppers. Keep in mind that you’ll never run out of delicious peppers! They are especially easy to grow under a wide variety of conditions like patios, containers, home gardens, and greenhouses. This Swiss variety has the traditional blocky bell pepper, and it will ripen from green to an unforgettable glossy orange color.
With thick flesh and juicy, fruity flavors, the bright orange Gourmet pepper is great for salads, stuffing, grilling, stir-fries, or to sauté for gourmet dishes!
