THE sweet and seedless pepper ANGELLO™, the latest fresh produce developed by Syngenta, has won the Innovation Award at Fruit Logistica 2012, the leading global fruit and vegetable fair.
The mini-pepper was considered by delegates to be the outstanding innovation, amongst the ten nominees.
“We are very proud of this award. It is further evidence of Syngenta’s ability to innovate in a way that meets the demands of both producers and consumers,” head of vegetables at Syngenta, Alexander Tokarz said.
"ANGELLO is the first pepper that consumers can enjoy as a snack without having to cut-up the fruit and remove its seeds. It is also unique in sweetness and crunchiness," Syngenta said.
The pepper is produced in greenhouses during the whole season and is currently being introduced into the market in Europe. The pepper comes with bright red colouring and thinner skin, making it ideal for a snack or in salads.
