Chocolate Capsicum – Capsicum annuum<\/p>\n

http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Capsicum_annuum<\/a><\/p>\n

The last few years I have been growing small chocolate capsicums. They ripen up to a dark brown and have an excellent taste. They have a distinct flavour that is quite intense and similar to that of Mulato chillies<\/a>\u00a0– possibly they were part of the breeding program that was used to get the colour.\u00a0They are especially tasty when combined with fresh cherry tomatoes, some fresh garlic and a smattering of balsamic vinegar and olive oil and then left to sit.<\/p>\n

I have also been trying other coloured varieties such as white and a dark purple but they tend be larger and less interesting taste wise.<\/p>\n

The small chocolate variety I have found most desirable grows to about 1 meter high and produces a steady stream of fruit through summer and into autumn.<\/p>\n

They need good warm growing conditions and a reliable supply of water but other wise they are quite hardy. I find some beetles particularly like them but otherwise they tend to have few pests.<\/p>\n
