Il nome Sweet Palermo® deriva dal suo sapore dolce. La squisita dolcezza di questo peperone unico dà valore aggiunto a una grande varietà di piatti. Inoltre Sweet Palermo è ottimo consumato come spuntino.
It has taken many years of breeding, but the result was worth waiting for: Sweet Palermo. This unique and tasty pointed pepper is now within everyone’s reach thanks to the dedication of our Sweet Palermo Growers Group, all of whom are specially qualified to produce Sweet Palermo.
Surprisingly Sweet
After one bite of the Sweet Palermo, consumers are hooked. The explanation lies in the science-based ‘brix values’ (numbers expressing the natural sugar content of a foodstuff). The Sweet Palermo achieves a brix of 9 (the sweetest regular blocky pepper has a maximum brix of 7) but with less than 40KCal per fruit. Combined with its rich aroma of fruits and fresh herbs, the Sweet Palermo scores highly in taste tests and contests. In 2012 the Sweet Palermo was chosen both by experts and the public as the ‘Best Dutch Pepper’!
Surprisingly Yellow
Recently the Sweet Palermo range has been extended by a yellow version. The yellow Sweet Palermo is as sweet as you would expect from Sweet Palermo and has the same characteristics as the red version.
