Description:
The Pimiento Elite F1 pepper is a hybrid version of the popular Pimiento pepper, but it’s much more prolific and high yielding. What makes them unique is that the Pimiento Elite peppers are effortless and less time-consuming for processing and canning because they fit so neatly in a jar. Talk about saving some time to do other things, am I right?
The Pimiento Elite pepper plant is excellent for home gardens because it is TMV resistant and produces heavy yields of sweet peppers at an earlier maturing stage. These peppers grow to 3" long and form heart-shaped sweet peppers with tapered, blunt ends and thick walls. The peppers will mature from green to red, and we recommend harvesting them when they turn red for more flavors!
They are excellent for canning, pickling, and garnishing, and to roast, fry, and cook. They are great additions to salads and sandwiches, and to stuff with meat or cheese for delicious hors d’oeuvres. If you love Pimento peppers, check out the Pimento pepper seeds!
