Pimento Pepper

Pimento Pepper is an heirloom, open-pollinated pepper variety famous for its frequent appearance in stuffed olives and pimento cheese preparations. An All America Selection, these are truly some of the best-tasting sweet peppers you’ll ever eat! The flavor is succulent, sweet and very aromatic. Also known as “sheepnose pepper,” these fruits are heart-shaped and average 4.5″ long by 3″ wide. Fruits will initially be green and will mature to a bright red color. Harvest at the red stage, while still firm, for maximum flavor. Pimento Pepper stores well after harvest and the meaty, thick walls make it a great option for roasting, frying and stuffing.
