 Hungarian Pepper is also called Banana Pepper and Wax Pepper. They are really tasty and go with just about anything. Great from Sandwich to Salad to Stir Fry. It is said that they are slightly spicy. We have found that some are, and many are not. It seems to be somewhat of a “Pepper-Roulette.” They are not extreme, so whatever they want to do, it’s OK with us. But I am not saying they are hot - or not - anymore. They mature to red, and this might increase their heat a little. Most often, they are harvested yellow, much like green peppers.
