Sweet Pepper 'Sweet Chocolate' Seeds (Naturally Grown)

Sweet Chocolate is a sweet pepper bred by Elwyn Meader and introduced by the University of New Hampshire in 1965 for reliable performance, even where nights run cool. Early and productive, it typically reaches harvest in about 60 to 80 days from transplant, loading compact plants with medium, thick-walled peppers that run about 4 to 5 inches long and ripen from green to a deep chocolate brown. Slice one open to find crisp, brick-red flesh with a rich, sugary sweetness that tastes as good as it looks. Use it fresh for dramatic color in salads and veggie trays, or fry, roast, stuff, and freeze it for an easy burst of sweet pepper flavor all year.
