Description	The Hot Banana pepper produces long, tapered pods that ripen from greenish-yellow to orange to red, with a mild-to-medium heat and a sweet, tangy flavor. These waxy-skinned peppers are a garden classic. Extremely versatile — excellent for pickling, frying, stuffing, topping sandwiches and pizzas, and slicing into salads. Heavy-yielding plants produce all season long. One of the most popular home garden peppers in America.
