Description
The Mad Hatter is an award-winning sweet baccatum pepper that won an All-America Selections award in 2017, producing whimsical, flat, saucer-shaped pods that resemble tiny hats or flying saucers. Ripening from green through yellow to red, its thin-walled pods have a pleasant sweet, slightly tangy flavor derived from its South American baccatum heritage with barely any heat. The novelty shape, easy growing, and sweet fruity taste make it a favorite for fresh eating, bite-sized stuffed appetizers, and colorful salads.
