Bull Nose Large Pepper Seeds

An early, sweet pepper that was very popular in the 1800s, the Bull Nose Large Pepper is known for its mild taste and thick skins. This pepper is ideal for use in pickling and cooking.

Bull Nose Peppers are also wonderful raw and the thick skins make them ideal for dipping.

The Bull Nose Pepper was introduced to North America in 1759 from India and gained great popularity in the 1800s.

The original Bull Nose Pepper was grown by Thomas Jefferson. These peppers are still grown at Monticello today.
