Banana

A banana pepper is long, mild to moderately hot (0-500 Scoville units) member of the chili pepper family, often served pickled on sandwiches. Its shape and color resembles a banana. As with most peppers, hotness depends on the maturity of the pepper, with the most ripe being sweeter than younger ones.

Banana peppers are typically yellow, but can also be orange or red.

The plant requires full sun, and should be treated like most plants in the pepper family. Plants can be grown from seed and cuttings.

Scoville Rating: 0-500
