The most popular varieties of pepper

Having at least a small plot of land, a vegetable grower always tries to allocate a place on it for planting sweet peppers. And if there is also a greenhouse in the yard, then this heat-loving vegetable can be grown in any region. Early-maturing crops are considered the most popular varieties of pepper due to the possibility of obtaining a quick harvest, especially in regions with a short summer. Closer to the south, varieties of medium and late ripening are not inferior in popularity. Thanks to the work of breeders, new varieties of peppers appear every year, and today we will try to figure out which of them are the best.

What fruits to choose for stuffing or processing

The popularity of varieties is determined not only by productivity, but also by their purpose. First of all, all housewives grow fruits for winter harvesting or cooking, that is, processing. Who doesn’t love stuffed peppers? Here it is necessary, firstly, to give preference to crops of different ripening periods in order to get a harvest from early summer to late autumn. Secondly, the taste of the fruit is important, plus their shape. For example, even medium-sized peppers are suitable for stuffing.

Let’s take a quick look at some of these crops that can be quite easily grown in the garden:

• Pepper varieties “Love” grow like a blueprint. All the same size, shape and color.
• For stuffing, of course, a well-known vegetable variety will go “Miracle”. Excellent taste, aroma, ideal shape of the fruit seemed to be originally intended for this dish.
• Just for processing, such as preserving salads for the winter, good “Bogdan yellow-fruited”. Vegetables are good fresh.

To these listings, you can add the varieties “Golden Rain”, “Banana”, “Golden Miracle” and many others. Each vegetable is individual and finds its admirers.

Delicious fruit – fleshy

The fleshy fruits are very popular. And not from the greed of vegetable growers that such peppers are large, but from their excellent taste. Who doesn’t love to eat a huge vegetable with thick, tender flesh saturated with sweet juice? It is unlikely that there will be such a non-admirer.

Usually large fleshy fruits are brought by cultures of the middle early and middle period of ripening. Among the many varieties, one can distinguish “California Miracle”, “Red Giant”, “Sun of Italy”, “Fat Man” and more

In addition to excellent taste, peppers have a long shelf life, which allows you to eat fresh vegetables before the New Year holidays. Fleshy fruits are excellent for freezing, salads, cooking “Lecho”. Thick-walled fruits attract with their color. For example, beautiful early yellow vegetables “Golden Pheasant” or “Sun”. Attractive medium late red peppers “Bell” or “Anastasia”.

Thick-walled fruits weigh at least 250 g. There are giants weighing about 0,5 kg. The wall thickness of such peppers is from 8 to 10 mm.

Dried peppercorns as the best spice

No less popular varieties of peppers suitable for drying. It is enough to plant a couple of bushes on the site to provide the family with spicy seasonings for a year. It is worth paying attention to the long fruits of varieties “Sabelka” and “Miracle paprika”. Peppers grow up to 30 cm long. In a few hot days, they can be dried in the sun, ground in a coffee grinder and an excellent spice for any dish is ready.

Less doesn’t mean worse

This motto can be attributed to mini peppers. Has great popularity “Christmas garland”. The name is confirmed by small peppercorns weighing about 50 g, densely dotted on a bush like New Year’s bulbs. The culture is adapted for growing in open areas. Peppers are so small that they can be added whole to any dish, and rolled up in a jar look simply amazing. Fans of small gherkin cucumbers will appreciate the New Year’s Garland of peppers.
