Description
The Cow Horn is a large, mildly hot American pepper named for its distinctive long, curved shape resembling a cow's horn, with pods growing up to 25–30 cm in length. Its thick-walled pods ripen from pale green to deep red with a pleasant mildly spicy, sweet flavor. Popular in the American South, it excels when roasted, stuffed, or used fresh in stews and soups.
