Capsicum baccatum cultivar with a full baccatum flavour, but no heat. The plant is vigorous, easily grown, and produces a huge crop of good size bullet shaped red chillies. The delicious chillies are fairly thick-walled and ideal for adding a new flavour to salads or as a garnish to a whole range of dishes. In fact, they can be used with advantage to replace bell peppers in the kitchen.
