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.
Enjoy more mild flavors with our Mild Pepper Seeds! Be sure to check back regularly on our Pepper Seed Collection for more pepper options.
