Burpee Mesilla produces large, meaty hot peppers that can be harvested at any stage of ripeness. Green fruits have mild heat similar to jalapeños, while red fruits develop a sweet and spicy combination.
Use the peppers fresh, pickled, stuffed, roasted or fried. Their kitchen versatility makes them useful throughout the growing season.
