Del Destino Red Sweety Drop Miniature Peppers Tin 28 oz — Sweet-tart Peruvian peppers, crunchy garnish

Del Destino Red Sweety Drop Miniature Peppers are tiny, sweet-and-tangy Peruvian peppers preserved in a 28 oz tin that add crunchy, colorful flavor to salads, pizzas, appetizers and baked goods.

Harvested in the highlands of Peru and inspired by Amazonian varieties, these Red Sweety Drops combine the fruitiness of cherry peppers with a jalapeño-like seed for a distinctive sweet-and-sour bite. Their petite size and firm crunch make them a ready-to-use garnish or mix-in for both savory and creative sweet recipes. Packed in a generously sized 28 ounce tin by Del Destino, they offer long-lasting pantry versatility for home cooks, caterers and foodservice pros.

How do Del Destino Red Sweety Drops change the flavor and texture of dishes?

These miniature peppers contribute a bright, sweet-tart flavor and a satisfying crunch without overwhelming heat. They complement rich cheeses, fresh vegetables, and baked items by introducing contrast in both taste and mouthfeel.

• Add a fruity tang to creamy cheeses like goat or ricotta
• Enhance pizza and pasta with pops of color and subtle acidity
• Use whole or sliced for eye-catching garnishes on appetizers

What are practical serving ideas and recipe pairings?

Use them straight from the tin as a topping or chop them to fold into dishes. Their sweet-sour profile pairs well with salty, fatty and herby ingredients for balanced plates.

• Scatter on crostini with crumbled cheese and fresh herbs
• Mix into salads, antipasti platters, and grain salads for texture
• Top roasted vegetables, grilled meats or seafood for brightness
• Experiment by placing whole peppers atop cupcakes or cookies for novelty garnishes

How are these peppers sourced and what makes them unique?

Del Destino sources this variety from Peru’s highlands where the cooler elevation and local terroir develop concentrated flavor and firm texture. The pepper’s lineage—an interplay of cherry pepper sweetness with jalapeño-like seeds—yields its signature taste and crunch.

• Imported from Peru and cultivated in highland microclimates
• Small diameter delivers consistent crunch and quick pickling or preserving
• Flavor profile: sweet with mild sour notes and moderate seed heat
• Handled to retain color, firmness and shelf stability in a 28 oz tin

How should I store and use the 28 oz tin to maximize freshness?

Keep the tin unopened in a cool, dry pantry; once opened, transfer contents to a sealed container or refrigerate the tin covered to maintain texture and flavor. Proper storage preserves crunch and stops flavor loss.

• Store unopened tin in a cool, dark place up to the printed best-by date
• After opening, cover or transfer to airtight container and refrigerate
• Consume within a few weeks of opening for peak texture and taste
• Use the tin size to portion for gatherings, catering or frequent home use

Who is this product for?

If you create charcuterie boards, prepare salads in bulk, develop restaurant dishes, or enjoy culinary experimentation, this 28 oz tin offers consistent flavor, attractive presentation and a playful textural element to inspire new recipes.
