The ‘Cajun Belle’ pepper is a very productive variety prized for its small, shiny mini-bell pepper-shaped fruits. The fruits turn from dark green to bright red when ripe and have a crunchy, flavorful flesh.
This pepper is mildly spicy, but much milder than most hot peppers, making it ideal for those who want a little heat without excess. The fruits are excellent fresh, grilled, stuffed, or in stir-fries and salsas.
The plant is compact and very productive, perfect for the vegetable garden or container growing.
