The 'Petit Marseillais' is a sweet, heirloom pepper from Provence, France, known for its productivity, early ripening, and distinctive, crinkled orange fruit. It has thin, aromatic flesh and a sweet flavor that some describe as having a citrusy note with a mild warmth that doesn't become spicy. The plants are compact, grow well in containers, and are excellent for fresh eating, stuffing, drying, freezing, or making paprika.  

The Gogosari pepper is a variety of the Capsicum annuum plant. It is also known as a Romanian heirloom pepper. 

Here are some characteristics of the Gogosari pepper:

The peppers are large, round, and flattened, with a burgundy red color and convex surface. 

The peppers have a sweet taste and a compact, juicy pulp that is thicker and crispier than other varieties. 

Gogosari peppers can be eaten fresh in salads, cooked in a pan, stuffed, canned, pickled, or marinated in sweet and sour sauce. 

The Gogosari pepper is originally from Romania, where it was widely grown commercially in the 1920s. It is also found in Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary, and Moldova.

Their name means "little beaks" and it's easy to see why. This diminutive and sharply-tapered variety of chili pepper is one of the stars of the Spanish table. Have you ever tried them?

These peppers are simultaneously sweet, spicy, and smoky thanks to some time spent over wood fires after harvesting. The slow-roasting also cooks away much of the water in the pepper, concentrating and intensifying the natural flavors. 

The Spanish Piquillo pepper (a.k.a. the little beak pepper) is usually seen coming out of a jar. This sweet pepper with modest heat –nearly imperceptible– has both smoky and tart undertones. It received a European PDO (Protected Denomination of Origin) and cannot be commercially grown outside its Navarra, Spain region, but we have home garden seeds available for you to grow them in your own garden.

Fushimi Pepper Seeds – This traditional Japanese sweet pepper is delicious when eaten right off the plant! It has crispier skin and texture than its companion the Shishito pepper. The thin walls and bright green color make it very popular and widely used in Asian cooking, especially in tempura. These are generally picked and used when they are green, but you can also let them ripen more to a nice red color. 

Fushimi Peppers can be harvested earlier than most other peppers, and are very prolific the entire season, so you'll be harvesting them all summer. You can cook these up with a little sesame oil and salt in a hot frying pan, they are also great when grilled or pickled! 

Fushimi pepper plants produce a heavy crop of long 6" narrow pods. Plants are 24" tall and great for container gardens. Easy to grow in full sun and fertile soil. Capsicum annuum (80 days) Heirloom - Open-pollinated
