Description
A Striking Pink Aji Charapita-Inspired Variety
Overview
Peach Jewel is a refined, jewel-toned pepper line selected for its prolific production of luminous peach fruit, balanced plant architecture, and gentle, aromatic profile. This variety stands out as a soft-toned, visually elegant selection well suited to fresh use, light processing, and ornamental planting. Peach Jewel F6 was selected from the cross of Aji Charapita × Fidalgo Roxa.
Plants produce consistent yields of globose to subglobose fruit, ripening from light green to a warm peach finish with a subtle blush. Heat is moderate, accompanied by a Brix of 6.2 and good overall flavor and aroma. Fruit detach cleanly at maturity and show good post-harvest integrity. The variety emphasizes clarity and refinement rather than aggression, making it a strong candidate for growers seeking beauty, balance, and approachability.
Culinary & Use Notes
Peach Jewel excels in applications where color and nuance matter, including fresh preparations, gentle pickling, fermentation, and decorative garnishes. Its aromatic profile and sweetness support blended sauces, jams, and vinegars despite its high heat.
Breeding Notes
Peach Jewel serves as a strong donor for:
- Clean peach/pink mature fruit color
- Berry-like fruit morphology with a large crop
- Clean C. chinense aromatics
- Compact plant architecture
