Description
Peperoncini is the classic Italian pickling pepper, producing mildly sweet, slightly tangy pods that are traditionally harvested green and pickled in vinegar. Often seen in pizza parlor condiment jars and Italian sub sandwiches.
Easy to grow and incredibly prolific. Perfect for pickling, antipasto platters, salads, sandwiches, and garnishing. Also delicious sautéed or stuffed. Mild enough for everyone to enjoy. A staple of Italian-American cuisine.
