Description

A totally unique variety that owes its popularity to the very suggestive shape of its fruits... and yes, we quickly understand where its name comes from 😆! But beyond its look, it is also a moderately hot pepper (around 10,000 to 23,000 Scoville units), with thick, crunchy and slightly fruity flesh. Perfect for hot sauces, marinades, or just to get people talking in the garden!
