Red Pimento Peppers, a variety esteemed for their succulence and vibrant crimson hue, offer a distinctive, sweet flavor with a mild, palatable heat. These peppers are heart-shaped with a flattened appearance, featuring glossy, smooth skin and a fleshy texture well-suited for both cooking and raw preparations. As a favored ingredient in Mediterranean dishes, they find their way into salads, pizzas, and sandwiches, and can be roasted to enhance their natural sweetness. Red Pimento Peppers are also the classic choice for stuffing green olives or making the beloved pimento cheese spread. In addition to their culinary adaptability, these peppers contribute vitamin C and A to the diet, supporting overall health and wellbeing.
Nicolas Donck, a Belgium native, relocated to Georgia and started Crystal Organic Farm back in the mid-90's with a mission to grow healthy, organic produce. Many say he is singlehandedly responsible for introducing Atlantans to many plants of the endive and chicory varieties that were already popular in Belgium. Along the way, Nicolas helped found the Morningside Farmers Market and eventually met the love of his life, and now farm partner, Jeni Jarrard-Donck. Jeni brings an extensive knowledge of medicinal herb cultivation and usage to the partnership, making Crystal Organic one of the most well-rounded and diverse farms in the State.
