Our Greek Pepperoncini, known for its high yield and pickling purposes, is a popular variety of Capsicum annuum, commonly found in sandwich shops, pizzerias, and salad bars. With an average maturity of 65 days, it is a great choice for any pickling needs.
These unique, wrinkled fruits are typically harvested immature when about 2 1/2-3" long. They are best pickled as the raw fruits are rather bland. The medium-sized plants should be harvested every few days to encourage fruit production. The strain we offer does not have any heat. Organically grown.
This pepper is delicious in Greek salads, pizzas and sandwiches. The pods are not very hot and color from yellow-green to yellow and finally red. This chili pepper grows well in a cooler climate. After repotting, the 7-10 cm long pods can be harvested after about 65 days. People prefer to eat these chilies in the yellow phase.
