Jamaican Rosso is a cultivar of the Capsicum Baccatum species, prized not only for its moderate level of spiciness but also for its unique fruity flavor. The fruits of this pepper are glossy, approximately 3-4 cm in size, and during ripening, they transition from a light green hue to a deep, rich red.
With a heat level of up to 250,000 SHU, it is perfect for those who enjoy a noticeable yet manageable spice. In addition to its spiciness, Jamaican Rosso offers a distinct sweet, fruity taste, making it an excellent ingredient for sauces, salads, or as a seasoning for various dishes. The pepper is suitable for drying, grinding into spice, and also brings a burst of flavor when used fresh. Due to its exotic origin and vibrant appearance, Jamaican Rosso is also a popular choice for ornamental purposes in gardens and patios. It is recommended to grow this pepper in a greenhouse or in warmer climates to achieve optimal yields.
