Round Cherry Chili Pepper
The Round Cherry Chili Pepper, also known as "Devil's Kiss" or hot cherry pepper, produces round fruits 3-4 cm in diameter, resembling a cherry, starting dark green and turning glossy, intense red at full ripeness. It is one of the most beloved varieties in Italian tradition, classically stuffed with tuna and capers in oil.
The Round Cherry Chili Pepper Plant
Its botanical name is Capsicum annuum, belonging to the Solanaceae family. The plant is compact and hardy, with a contained height of around 60-80 cm, very productive and resistant to adverse conditions.
Its heat level ranges between 40,000 and 50,000 Scoville units, with thick flesh and a fruity as well as spicy flavor.
How to Sow Round Cherry Chili Pepper
Protected sowing takes place in February-March, while transplanting occurs in April-May, once the risk of late frosts has passed and minimum temperatures are stably above 12°C.
How to Grow Round Cherry Chili Pepper
The Round Cherry Chili Pepper prefers fertile, well-drained soil, in a sunny position. Thanks to its compact habit and contained height, it is also ideal for container growing, both for culinary use and as an ornamental plant.
It is a hardy, resilient variety, suitable even for first-time chili pepper growers.
Tips for Growing Round Cherry Chili Pepper
Harvest takes place about 80 days after transplanting, once the fruits have reached their characteristic intense red color. It is perfect stuffed with tuna and capers in oil, or fresh in salads and appetizers.
Diseases and Pests of the Round Cherry Chili Pepper
Like other chili pepper varieties, it can be subject to attacks by aphids and red spider mites, controllable with natural garlic or nettle macerates, and to root rot in case of prolonged waterlogging. Good soil drainage and crop rotation, avoiding repeated Solanaceae cultivation on the same plot for several consecutive years, are important preventive measures.
Properties of the Round Cherry Chili Pepper
The Round Cherry Chili Pepper is rich in vitamin C and provitamin A, with natural antibacterial properties. The capsaicin responsible for its heat can also aid digestion when consumed in moderation.
