Dried yellow cherry pepper is a golden variant of the classic cherry pepper, prized for its bright color and slightly sweeter flavor compared to the red version.
plant, of the species Capsicum annuum, is compact and bushy, about 40-60 centimeters tall, highly productive and suited to container growing too.
sowing should be done between February and March in a seedbed at 22-26°C, transplanting after the last frosts; fruits ripen in about 75-85 days from transplant.
growing requires full sun exposure and regular watering without waterlogging, with soil rich in organic matter and well-drained.
the round fruits, 2-4 cm in diameter, turn from green to golden yellow at full ripeness, keeping fleshy walls suited for stuffing.
waterlogging, which favors root rot, must be prevented, along with monitoring for aphids, especially under protected or container cultivation.
yellow cherry pepper has a low-medium heat level, between 2,500 and 5,000 SHU on the Scoville scale: excellent dried and ground into powder, or stuffed with tuna and capers preserved in oil like the red variety.
dried and rich in capsaicin, responsible for its mild heat, it also retains good amounts of vitamin C and carotenoids, including the lutein that gives it its golden color.
