Pepper, Italian Red (Sweet), as the name implies, are a delicious eating pepper, but because of thin skin and flesh, they are to flexible to use for dips. See more about them below.
Pepper, Italian Red (Sweet)
About Sweet Italian Red Pepper:
The Italian red peppers grow to a length of six to eight inches. They are wonderful eaten raw in strips or in salads. In our opinion, they are better tasting than the red bell peppers. The red Italian pepper adds color to many cooked recipes, but we believe that cooking them is a waste of their wonderful raw flavor. Select Italian red peppers that are firm and free of blemishes and wrinkles. See the nutritional chart below.
