About Friggitello pepper

A friggitello pepper is a small, slender, mild Italian pepper, generally picked green and used fresh or cooked. The fruits are tapered and thin-walled, with a glossy green skin that may turn red as they mature. They are often cooked whole or sliced, including sautéed or roasted preparations.

Its flesh is tender when cooked and has a sweet, grassy flavour with little heat, though individual peppers can vary. It is sold fresh, and mature red fruits may also be encountered. Friggitello peppers should not be conflated with hotter peppers or with pickled products made from them.
