The Feher Ozon Paprika peppers, an exceptional heirloom variety, boast an irresistibly sweet flavor. Standing at 2 feet tall, these compact plants are heavy producers, yielding an abundance of peppers with more fruits than leaves. The pepper pods, reaching 5 inches in length with thick walls, will be found pointing upward and out through the foliage, adorned with slight pointy tails, creating a visually stunning display as they transition from ivory white to orange and finally to vibrant red when ripe. Renowned for their sweet and tangy taste, these peppers are perfect for grinding into gourmet paprika powder, offering a richer yield compared to Cayenne peppers due to their thicker flesh.
