Description

The Caribe is a yellow wax-type pepper from Mexico and the Caribbean, valued for its bright color and mild fruity heat. Its short, tapered pods ripen from pale yellow to orange with a smooth, waxy skin and a pleasant tangy flavor. With mild to moderate heat, it is popular for pickling, fresh use in salsas, and as a colorful addition to Mexican and Caribbean cuisine.
