This is an illustration of the bright red, fully ripe Peter Pepper. Due to its extremely eccentric shape, it is also referred to as 'the most obscene pepper in the world'. Its spiciness is moderate. It can be used as food, but it also seems to hold value as a decorative piece and as a novelty gift due to its appearance.
