The Zebrange Pepper is not just an ingredient; it’s a visual and culinary delight. Carefully bred by Belgian pepper enthusiast Laurent Minet, this unique Capsicum baccatum cross combines the best attributes of the Aji Fantasy and Christmas Bell (also known as Bishop’s Crown) peppers.
Its pods ripen to a vibrant bright orange adorned with striking red stripes, making it one of the most eye-catching additions to any garden. Beyond its beauty, the Zebrange pepper is celebrated for its sweet and fruity flavor profile with mild to medium heat—the perfect balance to enhance your dishes.
