Capsicum annuum, known by a multitude of names such as bell pepper, paprika, chili, or bell pepper, is a perennial herbaceous species whose popular fruit can be found in kitchens around the world. Its wide variability in shapes, sizes, and colors gives it great culinary value in countless recipes. Native to Mesoamerica, it is estimated to have been cultivated by humans for more than 6,000 years. Today, the world's largest producer is China, with the crop exceeding global production year after year.
Without a doubt, peppers are one of the most widely used garden seeds across the globe, both hot and cold varieties. They are added to salads and other raw dishes like gazpacho, although we can also find them cooked in thousands of recipes and, of course, as paprika in powder form. They are rich in carbohydrates, vitamins, and folic acid, in addition to containing minerals such as potassium, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium, among others.
Peppers prefer medium-high temperatures (minimum 20°C) with low humidity, and the more sun, the better. They prefer spongy, well-drained soils with plenty of organic matter. Due to their needs, they are widely grown in greenhouses, where conditions with lower temperature fluctuations are ideal for their development. They are sown in early spring and harvested (even green) about 12-14 weeks after germination.
In this section, you can find pepper seeds from some of the most prized varieties on the market, from the delicious sweet Italian pepper to the spicy Dominican pepper or the classic horn pepper... you're spoiled for choice, happy growing!
Generally, germination to harvest takes between 12 and 14 weeks, although some late-season varieties may require a little more time.
