Description
The Papri mild fruit is perfect for making paprika at home. Pick when they get half red, let them finish getting red on your kitchen counter, cut the peppers in half, remove the seeds, and dry the peppers. Once they are dry, break them into small pieces to fit in a spice grinder (or freeze and grind later to order).
Fruit average 6 inches in length and 1 ½ inches in width. Maturing from green to red, paprika is better made from red peppers which are more flavorful. These peppers taste great fresh too. Almost no heat. 70 days to green fruit and 80 to 85 days to red.
Some people eat it like a bell pepper as it has a nice crunch.
Lasts for up to 5 years. Can be grown in 5-gallon pots or in the ground. A small tomato cage keeps the fruit off the ground.
