Square Red Pepper
The Square Red Pepper produces generously sized fruits, about 11x17 cm, that turn from green to intense red at full ripeness. The mesocarp is very thick and sweet, a trait that makes it particularly suited to gratins and baked dishes.
The Square Red Pepper Plant
Its botanical name is Capsicum annuum, belonging to the Solanaceae family. The plant is vigorous and productive, with good fruit uniformity and a sturdy vegetative structure, making it suitable for both tunnel and open field cultivation.
How to Sow Square Red Pepper
Protected sowing takes place between February and March, while field transplanting occurs in April-May, once the risk of late frosts has passed.
How to Grow Square Red Pepper
The Square Red Pepper prefers fertile, well-drained soil, in a sunny position. Thanks to its sturdy vegetative structure, it adapts well to both protected tunnel cultivation and open field growing.
Regular irrigation during fruit swelling promotes development of the thick mesocarp typical of this variety.
Tips for Growing Square Red Pepper
Harvest generally takes place between June and August, once the fruits have reached their characteristic intense red color. Thanks to its thick, sweet flesh, it is excellent both raw and cooked, particularly baked or as a gratin.
Diseases and Pests of the Square Red Pepper
Like other 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 Square Red Pepper
The Square Red Pepper is rich in vitamins A and C, as well as calcium, phosphorus and potassium, with natural antioxidant properties that make it a valuable vegetable for everyday nutrition.
