Capsicum annuum ‘Nardello’ - Chili Pepper by Alison F. Brown

Capsicum annuum 'Nardello', also known as the Nardello Pepper, is a sweet and slender red pepper variety native to Italy and prized for its rich flavour and versatility in cooking. It is also believed to have mild digestive benefits, with its antioxidants and vitamins supporting overall health and wellness. In folk traditions, originating in Italy, peppers like the Nardello are thought to bring good fortune and are sometimes hung in kitchens or doorways as a protective charm against negative spir-its.
