About This Pepper
Cal Wonder is a classic sweet bell pepper, similar to the shimla mirch used in Indian kitchens, grown for its thick walls, crisp texture, and mild, sweet flavor. The blocky green fruits hold their shape well when sautéed or stuffed, making them ideal for everyday sabzi and Indian-Chinese cooking.
Compact plants grow steadily through warm weather and adapt well to garden beds or large containers, producing dependable harvests of thick-walled peppers.
Why We Grow It
We grow Cal Wonder because it’s a dependable sweet pepper that fits easily into everyday cooking. It performs well in warm California gardens and produces thick-walled peppers that work beautifully in sabzi, stuffing, and quick sautéed dishes.
