The Sweet Chocolate Bell Pepper is a productive, early-maturing bell pepper prized for its rich color and dependable yields. Developed in 1965 by Elwyn Meader at the University of New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station, the Sweet Chocolate Pepper produces heavy loads of 4 to 5-inch-long tapered fruits that ripen from green to a deep chocolate-brown on the outside while remaining vibrant red inside. When sliced, these striking brown peppers reveal beautiful contrast and classic sweet bell flavor without heat. Unlike many standard green types, fully ripened chocolate bell peppers offer exceptional sweetness and beauty, making them perfect for fresh salads, roasting, stuffing, or frying. The Sweet Chocolate Pepper matures in approximately 60 to 85 days and performs reliably in home gardens, delivering consistent harvests of sweet, flavorful chocolate peppers all season long. If you're looking for a true sweet chocolate pepper with standout color and classic bell texture, this variety is an excellent choice. Each packet contains a minimum of 25 seeds.
