A light-colored pepper that does not make you wait. Zorza is an early variety with fruits that are creamy yellow from the start—you do not have to wait for them to “change color” to look appetizing. The fruits are medium-sized, rectangular in outline, with juicy, sweet flesh in the same light color. The low, sturdy plants do not need support and produce well both outdoors and under unheated covers.
Zorza stands out for its color: the skin and flesh are creamy yellow from fruit set, throughout the entire stage of harvesting maturity, and only turn orange-red at full physiological maturity. This means you can harvest light, crisp fruits from late July. The skin is thin, glossy, and delicate, while the flesh is thick (7–10 mm), juicy, and very sweet—one of the tastiest light-colored peppers offered by Polish seed companies.
The plants are low (40–45 cm), with stiff, thick main stems, so they do not require staking or pruning. The fruits usually weigh 100–130 g, and yields from a well-managed square meter can reach 5–6 kg. This early variety performs well outdoors in most regions of Central Europe.
Sowing (March, under cover): sow the seeds shallowly in pots or trays filled with a light growing medium. At 18–20°C, seedlings emerge after 10–14 days.
Pricking out: when the seedlings develop their first pair of true leaves, transplant them individually into pots 7–8 cm in diameter or trays with 6 cm cells. Grow the seedlings at 18–20°C in a bright place, and harden them off during the week before planting out by placing them outdoors on warm days.
Planting out (second half of May): after the risk of frost has passed, plant the seedlings at 40–50 × 40 cm spacing in fertile, moist, fast-warming soil in a sunny position. Under a polytunnel, they can be planted out one or two weeks earlier.
Care: water regularly at the base, mulch, and feed every two weeks with fertilizer for fruiting vegetables. This variety does not require pruning. Harvest the light-colored fruits when they have reached full size and have a slight sheen; if left longer, they will turn orange and become even sweeter.
Zorza is a pepper for eating raw—its thin skin and juicy flesh make it crisp and free from bitterness in salads and on sandwiches. It also works well for stuffing thanks to its regular, rectangular shape, while the ripe orange fruits are excellent for roasting, ratatouille, and preserves. Its light color looks especially attractive in combinations with red and purple peppers—it is worth planting several varieties next to one another.
Zorza’s thin skin is an advantage in the kitchen but a drawback during transport and storage—the fruits bruise easily. Harvest them with a piece of stem attached, preferably cutting them off with secateurs rather than pulling them, store them in the refrigerator for no longer than a week, and plan to preserve them as you go instead of waiting for a large harvest.
