The dried Green Pearl pepper is an all-Italian evolution of the famous Black Pearl variety, with small fruits perfect both for cooking and as an ornamental plant.
plant, of the species Capsicum annuum, has a compact bushy habit, reaching about 45 cm in height and 40 cm in width, ideal for small spaces too.
sowing should be done in spring, in a seedbed at 22-26°C, transplanting after the last frosts to favor correct, regular growth.
growing suits both the traditional vegetable garden and the home balcony, thanks to the plant's compact size that makes it easy to manage in pots too.
the fruits, initially a greenish color similar to a small olive, turn a strong, deep red at full ripeness, and only then should they be harvested and eaten.

Green Pearl's heat level is low, estimated around 30,000 SHU on the Scoville scale. The fruits are excellent for flavoring meat and fish dishes, sauces and condiments, as well as dried and ground.
like all dried hot peppers, Green Pearl contains capsaicin, responsible for its heat, as well as a good supply of vitamin C typical of this family of vegetables.
