Alma paprika is an excellent choice for drying, grinding, or consuming fresh from the plant. This versatile spice can be easily prepared using homegrown peppers; simply cut the peppers, remove the seeds, and dry the flesh before grinding it into a powder with a spice grinder. It is advisable to store the resulting powder in a tightly sealed jar.

This well-regarded heirloom variety yields 2-inch round, thick-walled peppers that possess a sweet taste with a slight warmth. The peppers transition in color from creamy white to orange and finally to red as they reach maturity. The plants are highly productive, growing to a height of 24 inches and are relatively simple to cultivate.
