The thick, meaty fruit grows about 3 inches long, starts green, and ripens to red. They have gentle heat with a sweet, slightly smoky flavor. Common in Southwestern cooking, they add a pleasant zip to salads, pizzas, sandwiches, and work well stuffed, pickled, dried for chili powder, or used in salsa and sauces. Great for short-season climates.
