This pepper is sure to add extra brightness to any dish!
The California Golden Wonder Bell Pepper is an ideal bell pepper with sweet flavor and thick walls. According Winniford Family Farm, it does wonderfully in our shorter growing season! Their plants are compact and will not require a trellis.
Indigenous people in modern-day Mexico domesticated chiles from their wild crop ancestor the Chiltepin thousands of years ago, adapting it into so many unique and delicious varieties. When the European colonizers came, they took chiles back to Europe, referring to them as peppers because of their spicy flavor, which reminded them of peppercorns. Now chiles are beloved and cultivated by cultures all over the world, and despite the devastating legacy of colonization, the descendants of their original seed stewards continue to persist and cultivate them today. Sweet peppers are a relatively modern concoction, but one we are very grateful for!
