Costa Rican Sweet Pepper Plant - Sweet Red - 4.5" Pot

Frying/Roasting Peppers: Also called Italian frying peppers, Italianelles, or cubanels, these long peppers are sweet and tender and have a thin skin. They are usually either sautèed in olive oil stuffed and baked with the stems and seeds intact, as the seeds give the peppers their characteristic flavor and sweet taste. Costa Rican Sweet Pepper: A sure winner from Central America, where peppers are plentiful and varied, Costa Rican sweet is a gem. A truly tasty pepper, it's a large Marconi type but shorter in length and wider through the shoulder. Pick when the skin turns deep ruby red to experience its unique fruity sweetness. We like it in salads and sliced in strips for dip because it provides more flavor than a sweet bell. Also tasty when roasted or grilled. Matures when about 6" long.
