The Pepperoncini Pepper was likely your first taste of a foreign word at a deli, subway shop, or pizza joint. Those bright yellow pickled rings added a smidge of sour and a surprise of spice. You weren’t sure you liked them at first, but kept eating them, and learned to pronounce it: pepper-on-CHI-ni. Bring back the memories with this prolific plant that produces bunchini 3"-5" fruits that are tangy and crunchini when yellowish-green, becoming softer and sweeter as they ripen to red. Pickle these sweet, mild peppers in the old way, or toss fresh with a bowl of fettucini, porcini, and pecorini.

If you’re looking for the Chile Relleno pepper, you’ve found it. Except it goes by the name of Poblano. Prolific plants put out muchos 4"-8" thick-skinned, tapered fruits that start out a deep dark green with mild heat and earthy flavor. That’s when this pepper (chile) is most often roasted, peeled, and stuffed full (relleno) of meat and cheese.
