Details: An Incredibly Sweet Bell Alternative The Lesya pepper, a heart-shaped variety, is renowned for its exceptionally sweet flesh. Originating in Ukraine, this pepper was meticulously bred over nine years by Nadiya Filimonivna Bilous. The goal? To create a thick-walled, juicy, and sweet pepper with a teardrop shape. And they succeeded! The resulting fruits are stunning in the garden, with a vibrant red hue that beckons you to take a bite.

🌟 Flavour Profile:

  • Imagine the sweetness of a red bell pepper taken to the next level. Lesya peppers are packed with natural sugars, making them incredibly sweet.
  • Unlike some peppers, there’s hardly any bitterness—especially when you remove the inner pith and seeds.
