Description:
Nothing says summer in the Midwest like tall corn fields, Cubs baseball games, and delicious pickled Sport Peppers on top of a classic Chicago dog. But, let’s be honest – no matter where you are or which team you’re rooting for, these Sport Pepper seeds are a must-have to grow in your garden!
Sport Peppers grow on super sturdy plants that stretch up to 3 ft. tall, producing an abundance of slender, pointed fruit that looks like a slightly larger version of a Tabasco Pepper. Pods will turn from green to red when they mature.
The sporty name of this pepper is in honor of its most popular use as a pickled topping for Chicago hot dogs at the ballpark. However, these peppers are often pickled and once pickled - well, it seems the ways to use them are pretty much infinite. Think sandwiches, Italian beef roast, pizza, and hot dogs, of course.
