Pepper Peach Sugar Rush (Capsicum baccatum)
The Peach Sugar Rush is a pepper that was selected by Chris Fowler, finally stabilized in 2012, 8 years after its first tests. He had identified that the pink color was linked to high sugar levels and a very pronounced citrus taste. The result is really successful because this pepper is actually sweet, with notes of apricot, peach and lemon before it comes the hot. 50,000 to 100,000 on the Scoville scale, it sits below a Habanero. Ultra productive and delicious (for pepper lovers!) it didn't take less for it to become one of our favorites on the farm. Don't be surprised because its peach color takes a long time to show, it will have to wait until the end of the season, or let it ripen after picking. This does not prevent you from consuming it before! Variety isolated under greenhouse + net.
