Description:
The Melrose Hot Peppers have an interesting history: a family that emigrated from Italy brought these peppers seeds with them, growing them in their new home in Suburban Chicago (Melrose Park), and the rest is history!
Growing around 4-6", the sweet, rich, flavorful Melrose Pepper is a great addition to your delicious meals. These peppers turn from green to crimson red when they mature. The flavor becomes more intense when they ripen for a longer period.
Although they have mild to no heat, they are a versatile pepper in the kitchen with a ton of culinary options! Their sweetness and tender thin skins make it a great pepper to eat fresh, roast, fry, and stuff. You can even pair them with rice dishes and cook them in a tomato sauce!
