Further InformationEdit Edit

Trademarked name for a cherry-type C. baccatum discovered by Johan Steenkamp in South Africa in 1993. He found the plant growing near his holiday home in Limpopo. The brand is tightly controlled — you can buy Peppadew products but getting seed is difficult. Sweet with mild heat. Usually sold pickled in jars.
