Similar to an Anaheim, this improved New Mexico pepper has great flavour & mild heat. Traditionally when fresh, they are used either green or red with the skin removed. They are often used as a vegetable side dish or as a base for a sauce or salsa.
The plant grows to about 1m tall and the fruits are up to 20cm long and 4cm wide, ripening from green to red. Plants can be grown directly in the ground or in pots. We recommend a minimum pot size of 2 litres, but 5 to 10 litres is ideal.
Heat level: mild, approximately 1,000 to 2,000 SHUs. Learn about Scoville Heat Units (SHUs) here.
