Cultivation highlights
Grows best in well drained, rich soils with a uniform texture. Foot rot and leaf curl virus are fatal diseases to protect against. Seeds are sown in seed bag and transplanted to the main field when ready. Fruiting begins at 9 months and continues for a couple of years. At OrganicSiri, we grow all our crops in our own farms organically without use of fertilizers or chemicals.
Storage
Hara papita can be stored in a plastic produce bag in the fridge. To keep them for longer than three or four days, a paper towel can be wrapped around the fruit to absorb extra moisture. They can be kept for about two weeks this way.
Availability
We grow multiple varieties in different stages in parallel at our farms, thus trying to make fruit available round the year. Fruiting is reduced in certain seasons though.
