Description
The Bulgarian Carrot, also known as Shipkas or Zlata, is a distinctive Bulgarian heirloom pepper whose vivid orange, carrot-shaped pods are instantly recognizable. Ripening from green to bright orange-yellow, it offers moderate to high heat with a fruity, citrusy flavor. Widely used in Eastern European cuisine for pickling, fresh salsas, and fermented condiments, its unique color makes it popular in gardens worldwide.
