Number of seeds

In the heart of the organic vegetable garden, the Klari Baby Cheese pepper settles in like a small, benevolent presence among the summer vegetables. Like all sweet peppers, it comes from the species Capsicum annuum , widely cultivated and diversified throughout the world, notably from centers of diversity in Central and South America, before being adopted by many home gardens.

In a garden in harmony with the cycle of the seasons, it is cultivated like a classic pepper: sown indoors in the heart of winter or very early spring, then patiently acclimatized before being planted in the welcoming soil of the vegetable garden when the nights are finally mild. Its discreet white flowers announce the onset of fruit, a stage eagerly awaited by the gardener who tends to the plant throughout the summer, from regular watering to bountiful harvests.

This variety naturally finds its place in a diverse, nourishing environment: it contributes to garden life through its ground cover and the micro-habitats it provides for small soil fauna. Grown slowly, respecting the warmth it needs, this pepper becomes a reliable companion during short summers, in a deeply rooted approach to sustainable cultivation.

  • Growing climate: Warm season
  • Sowing difficulty level: Medium
  • Care required: Regular
  • Growth: Summer growth

Note: Like all peppers, it needs constant warmth to fruit well and is sensitive to cold and cool nights.

Like all sweet peppers, this variety lends itself to many culinary uses. The fruits can be eaten fresh, in salads, grilled, stuffed, or added to stir-fries, ratatouilles, and sauces. They are also suitable for freezing after being cut, or for making preserves in vinegar or oil.

Sweet peppers are prized for their sweet flavor and their crisp or melting flesh, depending on how they are cooked. They also hold an important place in many traditional cuisines, where they accompany grains, legumes, and stews.
