🌶 Paprika Amfora is a sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum) variety developed in Serbia and officially recognized in 2001. 🌍 It is a high-yielding, disease-resistant cultivar known for its large, meaty fruits, making it ideal for fresh consumption, baking, and stuffing. The fruits have thick walls (5–6 mm) and grow exceptionally large, averaging 150–200 grams each, providing excellent texture and flavor. 🌶
At technological maturity, Amfora peppers are light yellow 🌕, while at physiological maturity they turn a rich dark red 🔴. Their consistent size and thickness make them particularly suitable for culinary uses, from fresh salads to baked dishes. The variety is highly productive, yielding approximately 40–60 tons per hectare under optimal conditions. 🌾
🌿 Cultivation & Sowing:
Amfora pepper seeds are typically sown indoors from mid-February to April 🌱 to give seedlings a strong start. For direct sowing in open fields, planting can begin in May 🌞 once the risk of frost has passed. The plants thrive in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil under full sun exposure ☀️. Regular watering 💧 and fertilization ensure vigorous growth and fruit development.
🌾 Growth & Care:
This variety demonstrates good disease resistance 🛡️, helping to maintain stable yields. Fruit development requires consistent care, including proper staking or support to prevent bending of branches under heavy fruit loads. 🌶 Pruning is optional but may enhance airflow and reduce the risk of fungal infections. Mulching can help conserve soil moisture and regulate temperature.
🥗 Harvesting & Usage:
Fruits are ready to harvest when they reach full color, usually dark red 🔴, though light yellow fruits can be harvested earlier for certain culinary uses. Amfora peppers are versatile in the kitchen: perfect for fresh consumption, roasting, baking, or stuffing. Their thick walls and robust flavor also make them ideal for processing into sauces or preserves. 🍽️
