Alpaca F1 pepper is a medium-early hybrid of hot pepper, recommended for cultivation both in polytunnel greenhouses and in open ground. The plant is semi-erect, indeterminate, and well-leafed, which promotes abundant fruiting. The ripening period is 70-80 days, allowing for harvest within relatively short timeframes. The hybrid is adaptable to growing conditions and resistant to tobacco mosaic virus and fusarium wilt, making it a reliable choice for various regions.

The fruits of Alpaca pepper have a narrow conical shape, length of 6-8 cm, diameter of 3-4 cm, and weight ranging from 20 to 40 grams. Wall thickness varies from 4 to 6 mm, ensuring juicy and succulent fruits. In technical maturity, the fruits are dark green, and in biological maturity — dark red. The skin is smooth with characteristic micro-cracks, which impart a more intense flavor and aroma to dishes, especially appreciated in cuisine such as Mexican. The hybrid’s flavor is harmoniously spicy, making it popular among chili pepper enthusiasts.

Alpaca F1 pepper is versatile in use: suitable for fresh consumption, marination, stuffing, and preparation of various dishes. Due to its flavor profile and firm fruit structure, it is ideal for home cooking and processing. The hybrid’s yield under polytunnel cover reaches 1.4 kg per square meter, indicating high productivity and economic benefit for cultivation.
