Ninfadora

A Bold Fusion of Heat and Flavor!

The Ninfadora pepper is a unique and visually striking variety, known for its vibrant colors and complex flavor profile. This rare and stable variety hails from Italy and features stunning variegated chartreuse leaves, a characteristic that is almost unheard of in Capsicum chinense species. The small, cherry-sized, round peppers mature in a beautiful range of colors, including green, yellow, orange, pink, and red, making them a true visual delight in the garden.

Although not as hot as a habanero, the Ninfadora delivers a pleasant heat ranging from 10,000 to 30,000 SHU, placing it in the medium heat category. The peppers offer a perfect balance of sweetness and fruitiness, with a lingering heat that builds subtly, making them ideal for a wide range of culinary uses. The small pods, measuring about 1 to 1.5 inches in size, grow in clusters, and their unique flavor enhances salsas, sauces, and a variety of dishes that benefit from a mild but flavorful heat.

The Ninfadora plant is easy to grow, reaching a height of 2 to 3 feet. Its compact size and prolific nature make it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced gardeners. This variety is a rewarding addition to any garden, offering both aesthetic beauty and a unique flavor experience.
