Description
Pepperoncini Pepper - Greek Favorite
This Milanese strain of an old Greek variety is unparalleled for purity and productivity. Large yields of thin 2 - 4” long, lime-green fruits stay sweet until late maturity. Harvest when green for fresh eating or for the legendary canned/pickled peppers used in pizzas, salads and sandwiches.
Plant is excellent in cold climates with short seasons.
History

Uses
Peppers are used fresh, dried, and cooked. Peppers contain vitamins A and C.
