Sweet Pepper "Petit Marseillais".
The sun of Provence: sweet, tender, and slightly piquant!
A high-yielding, mid-season variety originally from Southern France. This compact beauty is a true classic of Mediterranean cuisine, famous for its incredibly tender texture.
Characteristics:
* Plant: Compact and neat, 40–60 cm high. Ideal for small garden beds and container growing.
* Fruits: Elongated (8–15 cm), lobed, slightly wrinkled and deformed. Average weight is about 60 g.
* Color: As they ripen, the fruits acquire a beautiful, warm yellow-orange hue.
* Taste: The flesh is very tender, sweet, with a light, barely perceptible spicy (piquant) note that gives the flavor complexity and depth.
Culinary Value:
The thin skin and tender flesh make this pepper ideal for frying in olive oil, grilling, and adding to fresh summer salads.
HISTORICAL REFERENCE:
This is an old French heirloom from the Marseille area. It is traditionally used in Provencal recipes, where its rich aroma and soft texture are highly valued.
