Banana Pepper

September 14, 2017 By Amelie Desormeaux

Bannana Pepper_smallA full sun pepper plant which grows to 1 to 2 feet and yields bright yellow peppers 2-5 inches long which have a mild, tangy taste.
How to Harvest: Harvest at any time after the peppers turn yellow and they snap easily from the stem. When they ripen further, they may turn red. The flavor is milder at the yellow stage, when they are most commonly picked, and the more ripe peppers are sweeter.

How to Prepare: Use as a raw ingredient in salads or snack on them whole! Banana peppers can also be pickled and stored or stuffed for a delicious appetizer.
