Description
The Hungarian Yellow is a classic wax-type pepper from Hungary producing long, waxy, pale yellow pods with a fresh, tangy flavor and moderate heat that intensifies as the pods ripen toward red. A staple of Central European cuisine, it is widely used for pickling whole, stuffing with meat or cheese, and fresh eating throughout Hungary and Eastern Europe. Its abundant yield and adaptability to various climates have also made it popular in American kitchen gardens.
