Bred by experts at the USDA and introduced in 1963, this bell pepper variety has been selected for its heavy yields and strong plant structures to support a lot of large peppers! The Emerald Giant is an improved pepper that you will enjoy growing in the comfort of your garden.
This pepper is a huge, blocky pod with thick flesh that grows to around 4 to 5 inches long. The pepper will glisten to a beautiful emerald green color before ripening to a bright red, and it’ll deliver sweetness and a crispy texture as it matures. The prolific Emerald Giant pepper plant is vigorous, disease-resistant, and an excellent choice to grow in warmer areas.
The giant green pepper is a favorite among chefs and home gardeners to cook for many culinary uses. Use the delicious Emerald Giant pepper in salads, roasted, stuffed, grilled, baked, or to eat as fresh! Delivering in flavor, texture, and variety, this is a must-have sweet pepper to have on your growing list!
