Yellow Cuneo Pepper
Yellow Cuneo pepper, also known as Cuneo pepper, is a variety highly prized by food lovers, unmistakable for its sweet flavor and thick, easily digestible flesh, which can reach up to 11 mm in thickness depending on the harvest period.
The Yellow Cuneo pepper Plant
Botanically it is a Capsicum annuum, part of the Solanaceae family. The plant is vigorous and leafy, medium-to-large in size, with good structure and branch resistance. The fruits generally have 3-4 lobes ending in a point, where the skin often shows a typical anthocyanin bronzing known as the "mustache".
This variety originates from an ancient natural cross selected in the province of Cuneo, where it has been grown since the early twentieth century.
How to Sow Yellow Cuneo pepper
Sowing takes place in a heated seedbed, burying the seeds about 0.5-1 cm deep, from February to May. Transplanting into the field or greenhouse takes place once seedlings have developed a good root system and the risk of late frosts has passed.
How to Grow Yellow Cuneo pepper
It favors fertile, well-drained, medium-textured soil in a sunny position; in summer, light shading is advisable to prevent sunscald on the fruits. It can be grown both in open field and greenhouse.
Harvest takes place from early July to late October, with an average yield of 4-5 fruits per plant when properly fertilized. The thick flesh makes this variety particularly tolerant of water and environmental stress.
Tips for Growing Yellow Cuneo pepper
Regular fertilization is advisable to achieve decent yields without overloading the plant. Watering should be kept consistent but without waterlogging, as the thick flesh typical of this variety makes it more drought-tolerant than other cultivars.
Diseases and Pests of Yellow Cuneo pepper
Common pests include aphids, thrips and red spider mite, favored by hot, dry weather. Fungal diseases such as powdery mildew and rot should be prevented with proper watering and ventilation management.
Properties of Yellow Cuneo pepper
The fruits of this pepper are rich in vitamin C and beta-carotene, with a very low calorie content. Thanks to its thick, firm flesh, it is excellent both raw in salads and baked or stuffed with meat.
