Sweet Italian Pepperoncini

Pepperoncini seeds for sale! Before growing peppers, I had never seen the pepperoncini outside of a pickle jar.

This Italian sweet pepper is most commonly picked while still green and pickled. Peppers are funny. Pepperoncini look like a wrinkly little cousin of the Anaheim and banana pepper. Heat level is right in line with the banana. Very mild.

The peppers are thin-walled and usually harvested green or pale yellow-green. Leave them on the plant long enough and they will eventually ripen red. Pickling is the obvious use, but they are also good sliced fresh on sandwiches, salads, or an antipasto plate.

Still not familiar with this pepper? The golden variety is found in the corner of just about every Papa John’s pizza box, in pickled form.

That’s the easiest way I know to explain pepperoncini to someone who swears they have never had one.
