🔥 Anger

1,000–2,500 SHU

The Guinilla Verde is a mildly hot pepper , with a spiciness that does not overpower the flavor. This makes it suitable for more liberal use in fresh dishes and salads. Vreeken's lists an official range of 1,000 to 2,500 Scoville units .

🌱 Sowing and growing

Sowing: January – April
Location: Indoors
Germination temperature: 20–30°C
Greenhouse: for higher yields
Planting outdoors: around the end of May
Height: about 80 cm

🍴 Culinary app

Guindilla Verde is particularly suitable for fresh salads, Mediterranean appetizers, sandwiches, side dishes and slightly spicy vegetable dishes . The mild 1,000–2,500 SHU allows it to be used in significantly larger quantities than the very hot varieties.

We specifically define it as a popular "salad pepper" in the Mediterranean .

💡 Tip from Urban Botaniks: With Guindilla Verde, I would emphasize the three strongest characteristics – mild spiciness, excellent use as a salad pepper, and good fruiting outdoors . This distinguishes it as a practical variety for people who want fresh spiciness without extreme heat.
