Leutschauer Paprika Plant

Leutschauer paprika chile peppers are broad, crinkled pods, averaging 7 to 10 centimeters in length and 2 to 5 centimeters in diameter, and have a conical shape that tapers to a rounded point on the non-stem end. The skin is glossy, smooth, and firm, ripening from green to bright red when mature, and the pods may bear deep dimples and creases across the surface. Underneath the skin, the flesh is thin, crisp, pale green to red, and aqueous, encasing a central cavity filled with round and flat, cream-colored seeds. Leutschauer paprika chile peppers, when fresh, are sweet with a mild heat, and in their dried form, they develop a smoky, sweet, and spicy flavor.
