Red Peppers

Based on the other reviews, I just had bad luck, these were very slow to produce and not many and most never turned red. Guesss I will give them another try.

Capsicum annuum Our wide array of fabulous peppers, both sweet and hot, offers one of the richest sources of nutrients in the plant kingdom. Hot peppers contain capsaicin, which revs up your metabolism and reduces general inflammation in the body.
