Does it stay sweet with no heat even with it is fully ripe? I've had a few types of peppers that were supposed to be sweet and when they turned bright red they had heat.
To better answer your question....it really only gets sweet when fully ripe. Hab flavor is there, fruity, citrusy, and floral but the redder they get the sweeter and more flavorful they got. I wasn't particularly fond of them green. Ive also grown Arroz Con Pollo, and Bishops Hat. Arroz being very very similar in taste, but more of a wrinkled pod similar to scotch bonnet. Still completely mild though. Bishops has more heat the closer you get to the seeds and placenta. Great flavor as well. All 3 varieties were pickled last year, and we're tasty. Zavory was a frequent snacker for me in the garden though. Growing Trinidad Perfume this year to compare a yellow variety.
