South African sweet piquante peppa-dew pepper seed

Description: Peppadew is the trade markedbrand name of sweet piquanté peppers (a cultivar of Capsicum baccatum) grown in the Limpopoprovince of SouthAfrica.This type of piquante pepper was first discovered in early1993[1] and introduced tomarket later that same decade. The name is a portmanteaux of 'pepper' and 'dew'.Although the pepper is sometimes described as a cross between a pepper and atomato, this description is not botanically accurate, and refers only to theresemblance in color and size between peppadew and cherry tomatoes.Peppadew is a trademark name. The peppadew pepper is a recent introduction to the culinary word, discovered on an errant bush growing in a South African garden near the Eastern Cape. Since its début at the Fancy Food Show in 2002, its unique, delicious flavour, a mixture of peppery and sweet, has become a popular choicethroughout the western world. Looking like a cross between a miniature red pepper and a cherry tomato, some people believe that the peppadew pepper is nothing special at all, and is only a normal miniature red pepper that has been processed using a special, secret recipe. However the peppadew company states that is new variety is a sweet piquanté pepper.Seeds for 2025 are now available....start indoors early! Seeds are from this 2024 harvest. Organically grown. The peppers will turn a vibrant red when ready for harvest, to eat or pickle. I had to modify listing name "Peppadew" to "African piquante" due to it being a trademark name.
