These peppers are look-alikes for some of the hot varieties! Be sure to label them, as it isn't much fun to do a taste-test to determine whether you've picked a hot or sweet variety. These peppers are long and curved, with fairly thin walls. Great flavor, and produce reliably in my garden. I like the flavor of these in my roasted tomato sauce.

This pepper is very prolific and is one of the sweetest peppers I have ever tasted. Traditionally used in Italy as a frying pepper, it is very good eaten raw as well. It is an open pollinated variety.
