Sweet Banana Pepper Seeds (20 per Pack)

The banana pepper (also known as the yellow wax pepper or banana chili) is a member of the chili pepper family. It is often pickled and used as an ingredient in sandwiches. It is a variety of the species Capsicum annuum. Its shape and color resembles a banana. Its flavor is not very hot (0–500 Scoville units), and as is the case with most peppers, its 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 the same as most other plants in the pepper family.

This particular sweet banana pepper variety bears pointed 5 to 7 inch long fruits that are curved like bananas. The green-yellow peppers mature to brilliant red with a mild, sweet flavor. A favorite for pickling as well as for frying, grilling and eating fresh.
