The fruit of the Purple Pepper is a favorite for its dark purple color. The fruit of this pepper turns a beautiful shade of dark purple and stays that way for a long time before finally ripening to red.  Purple pepper are somewhat larger than regular tabasco, but with the same thick walls and fiery heat. These peppers are great used in Salsas or pickled with a variety of other colored pepper.

Storage of Pepper Seeds: Store seeds away from children (the seeds themselves can be hot when in contact with skin or consumed!). Keep pepper seeds sealed in their packaging and in a cool, dry, dark place, or in a fridge. Never store them in a freezer as the sudden temperature drop is likely to kill them. Do not leave pepper seeds in direct sunlight as the heat generated may also kill them or decrease their germination rate.
