White UFO Pepper
🔥🔥
Scoville: 30,000 - 50,000
The White UFO Pepper is a fascinating and highly ornamental variety known for its unusual flying-saucer shape and creamy ivory coloration. The flattened pods develop broad, wing-like lobes that give the fruit the appearance of a miniature UFO hovering among the foliage. As the peppers mature, they transition from pale green to a soft creamy white, sometimes developing subtle hints of ivory or light yellow, creating an elegant and distinctive look in the garden.
Size
The fruits are typically 1.5 to 3 inches wide with thick, crisp walls and a glossy surface. Their unique shape and bright coloration make them a favorite among pepper collectors and gardeners looking for something truly different from traditional pepper varieties.
Taste
The White UFO Pepper offers a sweet, fruity flavor with subtle citrus notes and a pleasant peppery finish. The flesh is crisp, juicy, and flavorful, providing an excellent balance between sweetness and moderate heat. The spice develops gradually, allowing the pepper's fruity character to shine before a gentle warmth settles in.
