About Banana pepper
A banana pepper is a mild, elongated pepper, usually yellow when harvested, though it may ripen to orange or red. Its smooth skin and tapered, curved shape give it a resemblance to a banana. The flesh is crisp when fresh, with a mild pepper flavour and, in some types, gentle heat.
Banana peppers are eaten fresh, cooked, or pickled, and are often sold whole or sliced. Colour, sweetness, and heat vary with variety and maturity. Pickled peppers have a sharper, saltier flavour and softer texture than fresh peppers, so the two forms should not be treated as identical.
