Sweet Italian Frying Peppers — Cubanelle (Certified Naturally Grown)

$5.00 · 3-5 peppers · Picked this week

Cubanelle frying peppers, picked at peak ripeness right here in Douglas County. Thin-walled, mild, and genuinely sweet with a fruity flavor that holds up whether you eat them raw or run them through high heat.

These are the pepper Italian grandmothers reach for. Thin skin means they blister fast and don't need peeling. The sweetness concentrates when they hit a hot pan, which is why they've been the frying pepper of choice for generations of cooks who know what they're doing.

Good for: frying whole in olive oil with salt, stuffing and baking, slicing raw into salads, sautéing with sausage and onions, folding into pasta, a quick side that takes five minutes and tastes like it took more.

Store in the fridge. Best within the week. No need to peel after cooking — the skin is thin enough to eat.
