Description
The Beaver Dam is a treasured American heirloom pepper with Hungarian origins, brought to Beaver Dam, Wisconsin by immigrant Joseph Hussli around 1912. Its large, conical pods ripen from pale yellow to vibrant red with very mild heat and a rich, full flavor. Beloved for fresh eating, stuffing, pickling, and making paprika, it holds deep cultural significance in Wisconsin.
