Chocolate Beauty Pepper Seeds

Chocolate Beauty Pepper is a beautiful deep brown blocky fruit and is one of the sweetest tasting peppers.

Chocolate Brown Peppers are great in salads, stuffing, salsas, pickling and general cooking. Try complimenting it with the Purple Beauty Pepper and Red Beauty Peppers for a fantastic trio of color and taste.

These peppers start as a lovely jade green color and mature into the chocolate brown with purple-black highlights that they are famous for.

Chocolate Beauty Peppers are tolerant to Tobamo.
