Description
The Black Heart is an ornamental and culinary pepper bearing large, heart-shaped fruits that ripen to an extraordinarily deep, nearly black red. Its thick-fleshed pods have mild to moderate heat and a sweet, rich flavor. Prized for its dramatic appearance, it is used fresh in salads, roasted as a sweet pepper substitute, or in creative sauces where its dark color adds visual impact.
