Description
The Cubanelle, also known as the Italian frying pepper, is a sweet, mild pepper popular in Cuban and Italian-American cuisine. Its long, tapered pods ripen from pale yellow-green to orange-red with thin walls and virtually no heat, offering a crisp, sweet flavor. Exceptional for frying, roasting, and stuffing, the Cubanelle is a staple in classic dishes like Italian sausage and peppers.
