One pepper, endless possibilities! ‘Mesilla’ delivers kitchen versatility at every stage of ripeness. Harvest green fruits for mild heat (5,000-10,000 Scovilles—similar to jalapeños) for fresh eating or pickling. Let them ripen to red for a delightful sweet and spicy combination that's irresistible fresh. These large, meaty peppers are ideal for traditional stuffing, roasting or frying at any stage. F1 Hybrid An F1 hybrid is created by crossing two different parent plants to combine their best qualities.
