Peppadew is the trade markedbrand name of sweet piquanté peppers (a cultivar of Capsicum baccatum) grown in the Limpopo province of South Africa. This type of piquante pepper was first discovered in early1993[1] and introduced to market later that same decade. The name is a portmanteaux of 'pepper' and 'dew'.Although the pepper is sometimes described as a cross between a pepper and a tomato, this description is not botanically accurate, and refers only to there resemblance in color and size between peppadew and cherry tomatoes. Peppadew is a trademark name. The peppadew pepper is a recent introduction to the culinary word, discovered on an errant bush growing in a South African garden near the Eastern Cape. Since its début at the Fancy Food Show in 2002, its unique, delicious flavour, a mixture of peppery and sweet, has become a popular choice throughout the western world. Looking like a cross between a miniature red pepper and a cherry tomato, some people believe that the peppadew pepper is nothing special at all, and is only a normal miniature red pepper that has been processed using a special, secret recipe. However the peppadew company states that is new variety is a sweet piquanté pepper. Seeds for 2024 are now available....start indoors early! Seeds are from this 2023 harvest. Organically grown. The peppers will turn a vibrant red when ready for harvest, to eat or pickle. I had to modify listing name "Peppadew" to "African piquante" due to it being a trademark name.
