The novel sweet and seedless mini-pepper, ANGELLO, has won the Innovation Award at Fruit Logistica 2012 in Berlin - the world’s leading fruit and vegetable exhibition for the food chain. The latest innovative fresh produce developed by Syngenta, ANGELLO was considered by delegates to be the trade fair’s outstanding innovation, amongst ten nominees.
Alexander Tokarz, Head of Vegetables at Syngenta, said: ’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.’
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. The variety can be produced in greenhouses throughout the season, and is currently being introduced into the market across Europe.
’ANGELLO is an exciting sensory experience with a consistent premium quality and a breakthrough innovation,’ said Luciano Fioramonti, Downstream Food Chain Manager for Syngenta Europe, Africa & Middle East. ’Even people who do not usually like peppers enjoy ANGELLO.’
