Description

This is the pepper that will forever hold our favorite place; it’s what made me fall in love with peppers.

Being the only heritage pepper ‘from’ Maryland, these beauties actually come to us from the Afro-Caribbean slave trade via the port of Baltimore.  Kept solely in that community until Dr. Horace Pippin shared the seeds publicly in the 1970’s.

Thought to be a sport (or natural mutation) of a serrano pepper, the uniqueness of these peppers comes from their variegation.

Sought after for cooking (especially in soups and sauces for fish, hence the name) in the fully variegated, white, un-ripe phase for their creamy flavor with no hints of chlorophyll.

Pods ripen from green with white stripes, to yellow and orange with white stripes eventually to full red.

Highly productive plants we have grown for over a decade.
