It came from outer spaaaace! The Purple UFO is a unique ornamental pepper variety with an amazing taste and extraterrestrial shape when grown to full maturity. The origin of this pepper is still “unidentified,” adding to its continued mystique.
These Purple UFO pepper seeds grow into slender plants that can reach over 4 feet tall – much taller when planted directly into the ground. With dark black leaves and incredibly strong branches, these plants are extremely prolific and produce 1-1/2″ long fruits shaped just like mini-UFOs! Watch as these strange peppers ripen from their signature purple to a dark red at maturity. Pods are very smooth and crunchy when you take a bite out of them.
The taste of Purple UFO peppers is out-of-this-world! The flavors will be slightly different at each ripening stage – it may be sweet and fruity, or tangy and juicy! You can expect the heat to come on hot and fast, but fade away just as quickly. Purple UFOs are great for pickling, adding to hot sauce, salsa, and used fresh in salads. You can also cook these peppers down or dry them to make a very nice pepper powder.
