Angello Sweet, Seedless Peppers: Innovation in Agronomics and Snacking

Featured in many social media recipes, meal prep idea lists and lunchboxes, sweet, seedless peppers are seeing a growing demand. Consumers are excited about a product that is healthy, ready-to-eat and grab-and-go. Developed with both consumers and customers in mind, Angello™ sweet, seedless peppers from Syngenta Vegetable Seeds deliver on both taste and agronomic performance.

Unique Offerings to Meet Consumer Demands

Seedless peppers are a segment that has the potential for major growth. These products offer growers a unique way to capture market demand. It allows growers to provide consistent and reliable supply to retailers year-round.  

“Our starting premise was to create a seedless variety that would be convenient for consumers,” explained Ernesto Hagelsieb, Syngenta Vegetable Seeds Commercial Unit Head for Active Greenhouse.

Angello peppers are grown from seeds, not grafting. Syngenta Vegetable Seeds offer a range of shapes and colors. This allows growers to embrace traditional seed production while still accessing flexibility to offer seedless products retailers and consumers increasingly expect.  

These easy-to-eat snacks can be enjoyed in just a few bites and limit potential food waste while meeting consumer demand for seedless products. In a short amount of time, these peppers have become popular because convenience and taste keep consumers coming back for more.

Additionally, Angello peppers have a higher brix content, up to 14 Brix depending on growing conditions, for a sweeter taste.  

Agronomics for a Successful Growing Season

Seedless snack peppers are a relatively new product category, so high-value agronomic traits are at the center of Syngenta Vegetable Seeds product development. Angello peppers provide a competitive disease package with an open and balanced plant architecture. Angello varieties also offer a balance between vegetative growth and fruit production. This helps growers maintain yield potential and quality.  

Additionally, breeding innovations allow these peppers to stand up better to climate challenges with improved adaptability for heat, cold, salinity and water scarcity. These conditions can limit yield potential in traditional pepper varieties because they reduce pollination and fruit formation. However, through global research and development, Angello varieties help growers address these productivity challenges.  

Tolerance to both heat and cold is driven by increased levels of parthenocarpy, which offers benefits like more consistent yield potential in seedless crops. Growers can maintain productivity even in conditions that are less than ideal.  

“A multidisciplinary team of scientists, molecular geneticists and breeders works constantly on screening our germplasm bank to identify tolerance sources,” Hagelsieb said.  

Angello peppers are developed through traditional breeding techniques, aligning with consumer produce preferences.  

Innovation for Growers

Seedless peppers grown from seeds are a complex breeding achievement. It requires multiple genetic mechanisms to work together to produce consistent seedless fruit with strong performance and yield potential.  

The result is a pepper variety that combines consumer-driven innovation with field performance. Through resilience, reliable yield potential and strong market appeal, Angello sweet, seedless peppers offer an opportunity for growers looking to capitalize on the rapidly growing snack pepper category.
