Banana pepper is a mild, elongated yellow chile with thin walls and a gentle curve reminiscent of a small banana. Its crisp flesh and low heat deliver a sweet, tangy snap, making it versatile raw or cooked. Cooks slice it into rings for sandwiches and pizzas, quick pickle it, or stuff and grill whole; it is commonly sold fresh or as jarred pickled rings.
A cultivar of Capsicum annuum, it gained popularity in Mediterranean and North American cooking and is now grown widely. Commercial crops come from open-field farms in warm seasons and from greenhouse operations that extend supply.
