Crystal pepper (Capsicum annuum)
The crystal pepper has its origin in Spain in the province of Navarre and Rioja. Renowned for its thin skin and sweeter flesh than other varieties with a distinctive flavor, it is indeed sometimes described as “the foie gras of the pepper world“. Red fruit when ripe, slightly triangular in shape, it is particularly appreciated fried, grilled with olive oil, garlic and salt.
