Why So Many Different Peppers?
Most people think peppers come in only two categories: sweet peppers and hot peppers.
In reality, peppers can be sweet, smoky, citrusy, floral, fruity, earthy, crunchy, juicy, mild, or intensely hot. Each variety has its own story, flavour, and best use in the kitchen.
By growing many different varieties each year, we can introduce customers to the incredible diversity of the pepper world and help everyone find a pepper they enjoy.
