MATAN

MATAN — this is an early-maturing pepper variety originating from Egypt and named after the city where it is grown on an industrial scale. The vegetative period is approximately 80 days from transplanting seedlings. Plants of this variety are characterized by high yield and abundant fruiting, making it attractive for cultivation both for hobbyists and commercial purposes.

The fruits of MATAN have an elongated, slightly curved shape, measuring 10-12 cm in length and about 5 cm in width. They possess a very sweet flavor with a delicate spicy aroma and moderate heat that does not cause a burning sensation in the mouth. This combination makes this pepper ideal for making salsas and various fillings with a mild kick. Due to its texture and flavor profile, it is perfect for those who prefer moderately spicy dishes.

Moreover, MATAN is easily dried and widely used for producing spices, including Aleppo pepper. Its large fruits and balanced flavor make this variety versatile in cooking, allowing it to be used both fresh and dried to impart a spicy aroma and zest to dishes.
