| Jimmy Nardello Frying Pepper | |
| Capsicum annuum |
A famous sweet pepper originally from Italy. Fruits are long, up to 7", narrow at 1" across, with a slightly curved shape. They ripen to red. Traditionally the fruits were used for frying but their very sweet flavor lends them well to use in salads and other dishes that might call for a bell pepper.
Maturity: 80-90 days.
Heat:
Peppers contain no heat and are very sweet.
Origin: An old Italian heirloom introduced in the United States by Guiseppe Nardello in 1887. Highly popular both in the U.S. and in Italy as well as other parts of the world.
