Frequently Asked Questions
What do Peppadew peppers taste like?
Peppadew peppers have a unique sweet-tangy flavor with a mild, approachable heat similar to a sweet piquante pepper. They taste like a cross between a cherry tomato and a mild chili pepper.
Should Peppadew peppers be sliced for pizza?
Small Peppadews can be left whole or halved for maximum juicy impact. Larger ones should be sliced into rings. Either way, distribute them evenly so each slice gets a pop of sweet-spicy flavor.
