Sugar Rush Stripey Pepper

The Sugar Rush Stripey pepper is a stunning variety of Capsicum baccatum that is as visually appealing as it is flavorful.

This unique coloration, combined with its exceptional flavor and mild heat, makes it a favorite among gardeners and chili enthusiasts.

With a Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) rating of approximately 50,000 to 100,000, the Sugar Rush Stripey offers a pleasant medium heat level. Its pods are elongated, measuring about 3-4 inches, and boast a flavor profile that is sweet, fruity, and slightly tropical, making them ideal for fresh eating, sauces, salsas, and even candied peppers.

This highly productive variety matures in about 90-100 days and thrives in sunny, warm conditions. The plants are vigorous and can grow up to 4-5 feet tall, producing an abundance of colorful, striped fruits throughout the growing season. Originally developed by natural mutation, this pepper combines beauty, flavor, and moderate heat for a well-rounded addition to any garden or culinary repertoire.
