Description:
Hot Banana peppers offer the same sweetness as their original counterpart but with a touch of mild heat! Also known as banana chilis or yellow wax peppers, they deliver a tasty mild flavor that's both addicting and unforgettable!
Growing on 3-4 ft. tall plants, Hot Banana Peppers grow in clusters and stretch up to 6" long! Similar to the Sweet Banana, these fruits have a conical shape with smooth skin. They mature from a pale green color to yellow, to orange, and finally to red. However, these peppers can be eaten at any stage of maturity.
With just a bit more heat than a Jalapeno - 5,000-10,000 SHUS, to be specific - Hot Banana Peppers offer a nice heat level with a terrific sweet flavor and subtle tanginess. Great for pickling, roasting, frying - you name it! Hot Banana peppers can be used for almost anything.
