Summarized by Shop
This is the type of paprika that is squat with many lobes, similar in size and shape to a medium-sized tomato. The Alma Paprika Pepper is the perfect pepper to dry to produce the popular spice but is also eaten fresh, and yields are very abundant so you can use it both ways. Skin color changes from cream to bright pumpkin orange and event

Growing nicely!
Good service and good people.
It will be another month or so until harvest but there are many peppers on my plants!

Extraordinarily rare Alma pepper seeds
Shopping for these seeds was challenging overall and was happily surprised to find them here. You don’t get many seeds, but I got more of them for a better price here than anywhere else.

The plants are doing very well with nice Papricka peppers.
