High yields of very hot, 2 long pointed fruits ripen from white with green stripes to orange with brown stripes and then to brilliant red, some may also become deep purple as well. Often used in fish and shellfish cookery. This variety is really fun to grow and looks at home in an ornametal garden. Capsicum refers to a wide variety of tropical pepper plants with the genus of the same name. The name is perhaps derived from the Latin capsa, or box for the pod like fruit. They are also frequently used both chopped and raw in salads, or cooked in stir fries or other mixed dishes. They can be sliced into strips and fried, roasted whole or in pieces, or chopped and incorporated into salsas or other sauces. Capsicum is a relative of the tomato and requires similar growing conditions.
