Sweet Delight produces crisp, juicy fruit that can be eaten straight from the plant, chopped into salads or thrown into whatever is happening for dinner. I like plants that don't require me to have a particular plan for the harvest — you can almost always find something useful to do with a capsicum.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eType:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Sweet capsicum\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e None\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFlavour:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Sweet and crisp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFruit:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Sweet, fleshy capsicums\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePosition:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Full sun, warm and sheltered\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowth:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Bushy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBest for:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Fresh eating and cooking\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the kitchen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is the sort of capsicum that disappears easily into everyday cooking.
