I got a striped pepper from the grocery store yesterday. Haven't tried it yet, but it's pretty.
The tag says Enjoya Striped Pepper Product of Holland |

It's a "discovered' mutant of an (orange?) bell from Holland. I've also seen them marketed as "Flame" peppers. Because they are bells they taste like bells, but do indeed look stunning.

Looks like a GMO with a tulip gene inserted.

Joke.
It looks like a mutation similar to the one(s) that cause striping in tomatoes. Since the leaves on the plants look normal, I would guess it is not some kind of chimera that must be vegetatively propogated. I bet it is heritable. |

ha, ha........... pfffffffffffffffffftttttttttt
however, looking this dude up by registered name there is some rather TASTY recipes online for this (& other) bell peppers. Take a sniff of this one: enjoya.jpg Stuffed Enjoya with risotto and prawns You will need
In a large frying pan or small casserole dish, heat 2 tablespoons of oil and sauté the onion gently for 2 minutes. Add rice and fry for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the vegetable stock and bring to the boil. Boil the rice on low heat for 20 to 25 minutes until cooked, stirring occasionally. Add the prawns and the Grana Padano, along with pepper to taste. Stir thoroughly to mix. Slice the Enjoyas in two by cutting from top to bottom through the stem. Remove the seeds and membrane. Stuff the pepper halves with rice and refrigerate until serving. Enjoy!

If you can't tell the difference, it was a joke.

http://www.hortidaily.com/article/17...s-named-Enjoya http://www.melissas.com/Enjoya-Peppers-p/1563.htm ![]() And one biologist has said that stripes of Enjoya to appear only during fruit maturation which can't be due to any kind of mutation. http://the-biologist-is-in.blogspot....peppers-2.html You can find this beauty renamed in retail chain ASDA in UK: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ow-pepper.html http://http://www.freshplaza.com/art...n-thirty-years ![]()

Probably they will say here soon where to buy this beauty in USA:
http://c2cpeppers.★★★★★★★★★.com/thre...-enjoya-pepper Type "p r o b o a r d s" instead of stars! Or get in contact with Enjoya father Wilfred van de Berg in Facebook or via his company website: http://www.bergpaprika.nl/category/nieuws/ http://www.enjoya.com/en
