From HDRA (Garden Organic) Seed Library
Donated by G Twigg it was amongst a seed collection obtained from the parents of his gendre who had a small-holding near Gostava in Yugoslav Macedonia. Seeds smell of curry. Produces green peppers that turn dark red when mature. Seed guardian reports them to be good in salads, stir fries and curries. Very attractive shiny fruit.
The taste is milder than a chilli, but still has a 'bite'.
