Wangmiao Red Pepper

　　Wangmiao Red Pepper features large, long lantern-shaped fruits, typically weighing 40g each, with larger ones reaching up to 65g. The fruit measures about 10cm × 4.5cm. It has a mildly spicy flavor, thick skin, tender flesh, and is virtually fiber-free, offering a pleasant texture that stimulates appetite and aids digestion. It can be stir-fried, boiled, ground into powder, or eaten raw.

　　Wangmiao Red Pepper has now been registered under the “Jiuhong” brand. Cultivation has expanded to 26 surrounding villages, covering an area of over 12,000 mu, with more than 8,000 greenhouses. Annual production exceeds 40,000 jin of red peppers, generating annual profits of 150 million yuan, making it the largest red pepper production base in southern Shandong.

　　The red pepper base actively introduces and promotes new varieties, technologies, and innovations, continuously enhancing the scientific and technological content of the peppers, driving ongoing variety upgrades. The high-quality seed coverage rate reaches 100%, and it has been designated as a “Shandong Province Selenium-Enriched Red Pepper Cultivation Base.” Additionally, the Wangmiao Red Pepper base has been recognized by Beijing as a “field-linked” vegetable production base, earning access to supermarkets across major cities nationwide.
