Organic Anaheim Pepper

The Anaheim chilli is a variety of Capsicum annuum and is native to Mexico. The 15/18 cm long fruit is characterised by a medium fleshy flesh and a green skin, which becomes increasingly red as it ripens. Thanks to its low spiciness, this type is particularly versatile in cooking and suitable for even the most sensitive palates.

How can I grow it?

Plant the seeds in the pot, about 1 cm deep, and cover them with soil. Make sure to create the right amount of moisture so that the substrate is neither dry nor soggy, so cover them with cling film and make a few holes, then place the container in a warm place to encourage germination.
The first shoots may sprout in 2/3 weeks; when they do, remove the foil and water them regularly, leaving them in sunlight.
Your Anaheim chillies will be ready in about three months: you will be able to tell by their colour, between green and red, and the ease with which they come off the plant.

How can I eat it?

The Anaheim pepper has a sweet and fruity flavour. Since it is a rather large variety and not very spicy, you can use it in so many ways: try it roasted, stuffed or chopped to add zest to all your dishes.

We recommend wearing gloves when handling the chillies to avoid skin irritation.
Store the seeds in a cool, ventilated place with a temperature between 8° and 20° C, protected from weather, changes in humidity and sunlight.
