Sweet Palermo® is the name for a range of selected sweet pointed capsicum varieties bred by Rijk Zwaan. They are Dulce Italiano-style peppers, featuring a recognisable twisted top, and are the best-tasting peppers available. The whole Sweet Palermo® range is a suite of bright colours and surprisingly sweet tastes. While most standard sweet, pointed capsicums have a maximum brix value of 7, Sweet Palermo can achieve a 9. It is great both fresh and cooked.
