Description
The Cascabella is a California wax pepper prized for pickling. Its conical, waxy pods ripen through a vivid progression of yellow to orange to red with mild to moderate heat and a tangy, slightly acidic flavor. Known for holding its texture and flavor well in brine, it is a popular choice for commercial and home pickling, sandwich toppings, and as a mild condiment in American cuisine.
