Alongside the traditional familiar bell peppers, a large proportion of the peppers grown at Thanet Earth are now classed as ‘speciality’ peppers. These are the long pointed versions and the pretty little mini peppers that children love for snacking. A real rainbow of colours!
We grow around 24 million peppers each year in a greenhouse space that would fit 12 football pitches!
Urban Myth…
Bell Peppers have genders according to the number of lobes on their base.
