A large, mild chili pepper. Makes a great salsa if you don't like things too hot (or combined with other peppers if you do). Production and timing are not as good as other hot peppers (e.g. jalapeno and cayenne), but still earlier and more prolific than bell peppers.

One of my favorites
A must-have garden pepper for me that produces well. The large peppers can be picked green or red . It is a mild chilli pepper that is great roasted or fresh in so many dishes. The red is ripe and is best roasted, while I use the green for everything that needs a bit of flavor.
The plants get rather tall and need to be staked or the large peppers will pull the plant down to the ground.

This is one of the milder "hot" peppers, rating 500-2500 on the Scoville Scale. (For comparison, a jalapeno rates 2,500-5,000.) I grow this for use in my fresh salsas and gazpacho, as it adds a great flavor without excessive heat. It isn't one of my most prolific peppers, but one or two plants provide all the mildly hot peppers I need.
