What is Banana Pepper?

Banana peppers are a type of chili pepper. They have a yellow-green, shiny skin with tapered ends and vary from 4-8 inches in length. A ripe banana pepper is actually red, but they are harvested before full ripeness occurs. The flesh is thin and contains seeds in its center. The flavor is sweet, mild and a little tangy. Banana peppers are often used in salads and on pizza.

What does Banana Pepper Taste Like?

Sweet

...Sweet is one of the five main tastes. It has smooth and round notes in its flavor profile. Sweet is a naturally occurring flavor in many foods, including fruits, berries, winter squashes, sugarcane, and honey. The sweet taste in these foods is due to a higher sugar content. Sweetness is characteristic of desserts and is used as an accent in savory foods.

Spicy

...Spicy is a flavor that brings heat and fire to food by creating a burning sensation in the mouth or sinuses. Spicy flavors come from hot peppers, horseradish, and wasabi. Spicy adds a kick and sometimes complexity to a dish and releases endorphins, creating a mildly addictive quality.
