About this pepper

Albino is a sweet Capsicum annuum pepper sold as a blocky, thick fleshed stuffing type that ripens from pale yellow to orange and finally red. It is marketed primarily for Italian style cooking, stuffing, roasting, frying, and stir frying.

Plants typically reach about 30.5 to 46.0 centimetres in height. Pods are blocky and measure roughly 10.5 to 11.5 centimetres long and 5.5 to 6.5 centimetres wide. Orientation is described as upright to pendant. Season is generally listed as early, around 60 to 70 days after transplanting.

Albino is consistently described as sweet with no detectable heat. For database purposes, 0 SHU is used, which aligns with how it is classified in seed catalogues.

The name Albino is used loosely online and may overlap with other white or cream coloured sweet peppers sold under similar nicknames, which can cause confusion in listings. While commonly associated with United States seed catalogues, no clearly documented breeder or formal release record is publicly tied to this specific named line.
