Originating from artisanal selections around the Andes, this astonishing variety known as Yellow Pepper — or Andean Yellow — stands out as a tomato apart. Its appearance mimics that of a sweet chili pepper: elongated, bright yellow, with a pointed tip.

In the garden, its determined and compact growth habit allows for efficient cultivation, well-suited to small spaces or container gardening. It quickly forms bushy plants that generously produce fruits weighing 80 to 100 g, with firm, not very juicy flesh, ideal for harvesting in mid-summer.

In a supportive vegetable garden , it expresses its full potential under good sunshine and welcoming, rich and well-drained soil.

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

Annotation: Heat-demanding plant; needs well-warmed soil and a sufficiently long season to produce well-colored fruit.

The yellow bell pepper is prized for its dense, almost meaty texture and its subtly tangy and fruity flavor. With few seeds, it is easily prepared in salads, velvety sauces, or silky purées.

But it's when stuffed that it truly surprises: its elongated shape, texture, and flavor make it a favorite for this type of preparation. It evokes the ingenuity of family gardens where each fruit has its culinary purpose.
