2019 AAS Edible - Vegetable Winner
Pepper Just Sweet F1
A unique snacking pepper with four lobes like a larger bell pepper, only smaller. Not only are the 3 inch fruits deliciously sweet with nice thick walls but the plants are vigorous growers (up to 36 inches tall and 15 inches wide) that don’t need to be staked because they’ve been bred to have a strong bushy habit. Many judges conduct consumer taste tests and reported back that this pepper won those tests, hands down. The Just Sweet peppers are exceptionally bright, shiny and a vivid yellow color with a flavor described as sweet with aromatic accents. Great lunchbox item for kids!

Judges Observations
- “The best feature of this pepper is the miniature size while maintaining four lobes. This is unique in mini peppers.”
- “What set the entry apart in my trial was the fruit color and taste. Entry peppers were exceptionally bright, shiny and vividly colored.”
- “The entry grew larger plants than the comparisons, with higher yields, but did not require staking at all!”
- “We noticed improved disease resistance in the entry – the three comparisons all had some leaf spots but the entry appeared to be nearly blemish-free.”
- “This is the one taste test that excited the testers – everyone agreed the sweet yellow fruits were delicious.”
- “Very nice blocky sweet orangish/yellow pepper with good thick walls.”
