Pepper - Cheirosa

Seeds are from Code Cove Farm in Lake Wales, FL. Here's what they have to say about Cheirosa Pepper: 

"Cheirosa is a very interesting pepper from Brazil. This word translates to “fragrant” in Portuege, referring to the smell of the fruit. This is a sweet pepper with mild hotness that can vary. For many people, this pepper will be too hot to eat as a fresh snack. We have found that when cooked it is an appropriate level of spice that we can use it liberally as a vegetable in the dish. It is supposedly often eaten green in Brazil but develops the fullest flavor when it turns red.

The traits of the plant lead us to believe this is a variety of Capsicum chinense. If so, it is the most flavorful chinense we have encountered having a very rich, sweet flavor. Like some other C. chinense, Cheirosa grows as a robust bushy plant. Our plants survive nearly a year before beginning to decline, producing peppers through the steamy Florida summer."
