Flavorburst Hybrid Pepper Seeds

Days to Maturity: 70 to 75 from transplant

Just when you think there's nothing new under the sun, Pepper Flavorburst comes along to delight your taste buds with an entirely new flavor. A thick-walled, juicy, succulent bell pepper, it is infused with the tart-sweet taste of lemon.

These fruits measure about 4 inches long and nearly as wide, with 4 thick lobes and glossy skin that turns from lime-green to deep gold. Even if you pick them green, the flavor is fully developed—the peppery bite you expect is overlaid with a surge of pure citrus that is zesty and refreshing.

Flavorburst is good for cooking (especially stuffing, thanks to its thick walls), but we think the best flavor is brought out when it is eaten fresh. The zing of lemon is so distinctive and refreshing that a single bite will bring you up short. Add it to salads for a completely different flavor, or slice it into rings and serve with or without dip as an appetizer. Flavorburst is a crowd pleaser.

Just as easy to grow as traditional peppers, Flavorburst sets huge yields on vigorous plants. Be sure to add this distinctive pepper to your vegetable garden this season—it's a gourmet treat you shouldn't miss.
