Anaheim – 15 seeds

Anaheim (Sonora Anaheim) is a classic chilli pepper variety with mild to medium heat and excellent culinary versatility. It originates from New Mexico but was popularised in California, where it became one of the most common cooking varieties.

The fruits are long, fleshy and thick-walled, making them ideal for roasting, stuffing and cooking. They ripen from light green to deep red and have a rich, slightly sweet flavour with moderate heat.

The variety is highly productive and easy to grow, suitable for both the garden and pots. Thanks to its moderate heat, it is an excellent choice for people seeking a balance between flavour and spiciness.
