Description
Species: Capsicum sp. | Origin: South Africa | Heat: Sweet The Peppadew? is a sweet, tangy, mildly spicy pickled pepper from South Africa. It is said to have a taste somewhere between a mild chilli and a plain bell pepper. The variety was first brought to the worlds attention by Johan Steenkamp who 'discovered' a chest-high bush of them growing in the garden of his holiday home in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. The bush was laden with small bright red fruit something like a cross between cherry tomatoes and very round chillies and he decided to call them peppadews.
