The peppers are attractive, yellow and teardrop-shaped with a pointed tip, often with a purple hue; their flavour is sweet, fruity and citrusy, reminiscent of Lemon Drop. Heat level: 25 000–30 000 SHU.

Yellow Bouquet (Yellow Bouquet) is an interesting choice for lovers of fragrant Capsicum baccatum varieties. Unlike many representatives of the species, the plant does not grow excessively large, yet it still produces an impressive quantity of fruit.

The yellow peppers have a complex sweet-fruity flavour with a citrus note, compared to Lemon Drop. Their heat is moderate enough not to mask the finer aromas. The fruits are excellent both fresh and dried, then ground into aromatic chilli powder.
