Unknown Sweet Annum from Grocery Store

[Acprkit]

Hi everyone,

I bought a container of mixed peppers (same shape, maroon, red, yellow, and orange) at a ethnic grocery store in Canada. The container was helpfully labeled “mixed peppers” with no country of origin.

The maroon pepper is two lobed, a few seeds, thinner walls, and has a wonderful sweet/tart taste almost like a Granny Smith Apple.

Saving seeds, but does anyone recognize this pepper?

Guajillo?

Guajillos  and anchos make good chile con carne

Guajillo looks very similar. Does it have any heat?

Just a little picante like anchos.

I forgot to mention that guajillo are only a little picante and also a little sweet.
When I buy some, I find a nice one and eat it like candy.

Thanks everyone. Sounds like I’ve found a new pepper to grow next year!
