Chilli Name : MEXIBELL
Chilli Species : Annuum
Chilli Origin : USA
Chilli Heat : Mild
Mexibell is a mild chilli–bell pepper hybrid developed in the USA to combine the sweetness and thick flesh of a bell pepper with the gentle warmth of a Mexican chilli. It delivers all the rich flavour and versatility of sweet peppers, with just enough heat to lift dishes without overpowering them.
Pods are large and blocky, typically 8–10 cm wide and 10 cm long, ripening from dark green to glossy red. The flesh is thick and juicy with a sweet, slightly smoky flavour and mild heat, usually around 500–2,500 SHU. It’s ideal for stuffing, roasting, fajitas, or grilling, offering a flavour depth regular bell peppers can’t match.
Plants are vigorous (60–80 cm tall) and highly productive, bearing heavy clusters of glossy pods through summer. They thrive in greenhouses or warm, sheltered gardens, producing consistently even in variable weather.
Seeds germinate best at 26–30 °C, sprouting within 10–21 days. Plants mature in around 80–90 days and continue cropping into autumn under good conditions.
