Rumor is that the Bulgarian Carrot Pepper was smuggled out of Russia during the late 1980s, and made its way through Europe, the Caribbean, and then the United States!

This compact plant grows up to 2 ft tall and does well growing in containers as well as in cooler climates. The fruity pepper grows to three to four inches tall and resembles a bright orange carrot, with its pointy shape and fluorescent orange skin. They ripen from green to yellow, and then finally orange.

The Bulgarian Carrot has a crunchy texture with a sweet yet tangy flavor, and they produce a burst of heat. these peppers are great for salsas, roasting, stir fry, and grilling.
