Sweet Cayenne Pepper Seeds

Sweet Cayenne Pepper

Sweet Cayenne is a delicious and highly productive pepper variety that offers the classic long, slender shape of a traditional cayenne without the fiery heat! These beautiful peppers typically grow 5–8 inches long, with slightly wrinkled skin and tapered, sometimes curved tips. Fruits begin green and ripen to a brilliant glossy red, adding a gorgeous splash of color to the garden.

Unlike traditional hot cayenne peppers, Sweet Cayenne delivers a wonderful sweet, rich pepper flavor without the burn! The thin-walled fruits are incredibly versatile in the kitchen and excellent for fresh eating, stir-fries, roasting, grilling, pickling, or drying into sweet pepper flakes and powder. A fantastic choice for anyone who loves the flavor of cayenne peppers but prefers little to no heat.

Plants are vigorous, bushy, and highly productive, producing an abundance of long, colorful peppers throughout the growing season. Their relatively thin walls make them especially well suited for drying and preserving. A wonderful addition to any garden!
