Sarit Gat Pepper (Capsicum annuum)
This hot pepper originated in Kosovo where Sarit Gat translated to "long yellow". The beautiful canary yellow peppers are spicy, about 20,000-50,000 Scoville Units.
The fruits are about 4-6" in length and are slender. Each 24" tall plant produces many dozen peppers. This is one of the most highly productive hot pepper we grow!
Sarit Gat has a fruity, citrusy flavor and we love to pickle the peppers and add them to stir-fries. The peppers are very crunchy when eaten fresh and start as a light green color before maturing to yellow.Â
Since the plants are incredibly productive you'll probably want to trellis the plants.
Origin: We were given the parent seed of our Sarit Gat pepper by our friend Duck Chugger (John) who is a Master gardener, hunter, hot-sauce wizard, father and all-around great guy. He is formerly of Alameda, CA and is now starting a farm in the rich soils of Gridley, CA.Â
(Approximately 20 seeds per packet)
Germination Rate: All of our seed varieties exceed 80% germination and are re-tested every 6 months.
Planting Instructions: We recommend starting peppers indoors in a sunny and warm location 4-6 weeks before last frost in spring. Plant outdoors in full sun after danger of frost in spring. Note: pepper seeds need soil temperatures to be at least 70 F to germinate and we use a heating pad under the seedling tray to maintain temperature.
