Pepper Palmichal Negro

This brand new, sizeable pepper from Costa Rica, is heavy-cropping and has a most distinctive appearance and very few seeds, being solid and tapering with a slightly wrinkled appearance. When they ripen they begin green, before darkening finally to almost jet black, unlike the more normal purple or brown peppers. This makes then truly striking amongst similar types of peppers. They have a pleasant and lasting level of spiciness, although this can vary between different fruits and levels of ripeness. (100-1,000 SHU)
