Chocolate Mini Bell is an heirloom pepper that produces loads of small, chocolate brown peppers with a sweet flavor and addictive crunch. Arising from a natural mutation in a full-sized bell pepper, the miniature chocolate bell was discovered by Ohio gardener Lucina Cress in the 1980s and eventually offered to the Seed Savers Exchange. It has maintained a small following of dedicated growers for almost 40 years, owing to its amazing productivity, unique appearance and excellent eating qualities. Ripening through a beautiful series of greens and browns before finally settling on a burnt umber color, the Chocolate Mini Bell Pepper begs to be shown off on a party tray, and with their delicious flavor and crunch, you'll want to make it a big one. Even our kids go crazy over this pepper, possibly because its small size implies that it was made just for them. But regardless of whether you're big or little, you too can enjoy all the virtues of this sweet little pepper. Eat them fresh, sauté them, pickle them, you'll surely find more than one way to enjoy their tasty bounty. The Chocolate Mini Bell Pepper matures approximately 90 days from transplant. Each packet contains a minimum of 25 seeds.
