Details
Created by legendary pepper grower Chris Folwer, the Peppapeach (also known as Peachadew) is a round pepper that starts off green and ripens to peach. The round peppers have a very similar flavor profile as the Sugar Rush Peach. Although it is unknown if this is a natural mutation or an intentional cross, the result is a delicious pepper with a low to medium heat level. Non-Isolated.
