Dolma Kandil

Season Overview

Description

There is a reason why Dolma Kandil is harvested green. Many peppers lose some of their flavor when cooked, but Dolma Kandil's flavor intensifies! It does not become mushy or soggy when cooked, but remains relatively firm. The spicy taste is so pleasant and combines perfectly with other flavors such as tomatoes.

Growing tips

You should grow peppers in nutrient-rich soil in a sunny location. For a rich harvest, the first flower (terminal bud/'king flower') should be broken off. This promotes flower and fruit formation on the side shoots. Pull the plants with 3-4 shoots and remove the remaining shoots. In Central Europe, cultivation is usually annual, but the highest yield is only achieved 2-3 years after planting. To achieve this, the plant must be overwintered indoors. The fruits are harvested from July to September, depending on the variety and weather conditions.
