Hot Pepper Spicy Bell (Bishop’s Crown) (Capsicum baccatum)
Hot Pepper Spicy Bell, also known as Bishop’s Crown, is a distinctive chili variety known for its unique bell-like shape, moderate heat, and tangy, fruity flavor. This fascinating pepper is a favorite for both ornamental and culinary use, adding visual interest and flavor to gardens and dishes.
Plant Characteristics
The Spicy Bell pepper plant is vigorous and tall, reaching heights of 90–120 cm with a bushy structure. It produces uniquely shaped peppers that resemble a bishop’s crown or a bell, measuring 5–8 cm in diameter and weighing 15–20 grams each. The fruits mature from green to a vibrant red, with thick, crisp walls and a glossy texture. This variety is highly productive, yielding an abundance of fruits over a long growing season.
Flavor and Nutritional Qualities
The peppers offer a tangy, sweet flavor with mild to moderate heat, ranging from 5,000–30,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). The flesh is fruity and mild, while the seeds and ribs carry the spice. Rich in vitamins A and C, these peppers add both flavor and nutritional benefits to dishes.
Cultivation Recommendations
Spicy Bell thrives in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. Sow seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost date, maintaining a soil temperature of 24–30°C for optimal germination. Transplant seedlings outdoors when the weather is consistently warm, spacing plants 50–60 cm apart. Regular watering, mulching, and light fertilization will encourage robust growth and high yields. Fruits typically mature in 90–120 days after transplanting.
Applications and Uses
The tangy and mildly spicy flavor of Spicy Bell peppers makes them ideal for fresh salsas, stuffing, and pickling. Their unique shape also makes them perfect for gourmet plating and decorative dishes. When dried, the peppers can be ground into chili flakes or powder for seasoning.
Packaging and Delivery
Each packet contains 5 fresh, premium-quality seeds, carefully tested for germination and purity. Orders are processed within 1–2 business days, with delivery typically taking 1–2 weeks, both within India and internationally. Seeds are securely packaged to ensure their freshness and quality during transit.
