Description
The Red Augsburg pepper has sweet, pointed, bright red fruits. It enriches salads and vegetable stir-fries, but tastes particularly good as a snack, for example with cream cheese.
The variety is very suitable for outdoor cultivation, but can also be grown under shelter. It is very precocious. Roter Augsburger was tested for its suitability for cultivation under low-input conditions in pots and outdoors in a two-year screening process with ARCHE NOAH and in collaboration with over 50 Capsicum varieties.
