I need help identifying these peppers.

11 years ago

We recently bought our house and these peppers came up on their own. I don't have much experience growing peppers, so I'm hoping to find out what kind these are so I know how to use them. Thanks for the help!

    They look like Banana Peppers to me. Are they spicy? If they are they are Hungarian Wax. If not they are Banana Peppers. Both are good fresh or pickled.

    I agree, some kind or wax or banana peppers. Considering it is a volunteer, it might be a hybrid of 2 different kinds. Looks good! Whatever you're doing seems to be working fine. You can pick the red ones.

    They are quite spicy, so likely the Hungarian Wax. Thanks for the suggestions!

    I just bought some that were yellow, orange and red.....they are so tasty and not hot, yet not bland. I came here to see what kind mine were, as I want to plant some....I am looking for seeds or plants....I see on my bag it says mini poivrons doux. ....the doux is very fine print........does this help? I fell in love with the flavor, raw, in salads, and grilled....wow, oh so good......

    oh, I do know a good way to fix them....split in half, remove seeds with spoon, and put strips of real sharp cheese and broil or grill without turning.......wow, this is so sooo good

    I dont think those are Hungarian Wax Peppers. I see none of them growing upright and none that look like they are trying to grow upright. They look a little bit thicker and shorter than Hungarians as well. Nevertheless, they look like good eaters.

    Carol, What you have is likely the mini bell peppers which are very common in grocery stores. They likely have very little to NO heat at all. They are very tasty peppers. I buy them over regular bell peppers every time.

    This this is an old thread from 2015 and Carol is using this thread to ask a question related but separate from the original OP. Carol do you have pictures of the peppers and the bag they came in? Though I do agree with Esox07 that they are the mini sweet bell peppers.

    This forum recommends that you do such instead of starting a new one, and that's the reason this occurs. It's fine and we can pick up where the new conversation starts. The topic is identifying a pepper so it was revelant in this case.

    Oh, for Pete's sake. Stop already. The next person that dredges up an old post or goes off topic will be subject to deportation to N. Korea if that will make everyone feel better.

    Yah, OK.

    Wow did not mean to offend anyone. Just stating why what occurred, occurred and what this forum recommends, not that anything was incorrectly spoken. I agree it gets confusing sometimes when old threads are reused for a new posting.

    Carol if you would kindly start a new thread and perhaps with some picture, that would help greatly.
