They are long in shape, slightly bitter to sweet in taste, and while they start off green, they change to yellow and then red. This little pepper is quite prolific, and the further south you live, the later in the season, they will continue to bear fruit.
Start your plants indoors from seed and when your ready to start gardening, they transplant so easily. They love a well composted soil, but once started, just occasionally add some fertilizer and they are good to go. Don't be thrown off by the shape, you can still stuff them. I put my stuffing in a zip lock bag, cut one of the corners off and pipe into the open end.
They're great raw in salads, as well as chopped and sautéed, or thrown into a vegetable soup. If your pepper plants are growing faster than your using them. Remove the stem with the seed pocket, fill up a baggie, and throw them in the freezer to use in the winter months. And don't throw those seeds away. Dry them out, and save them for next year to start the whole process all over again.
