{"product_id":"hungarian-hot-wax-chile-pepper","title":"Hungarian Hot Wax Chile Pepper","description":"\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eHungarian Hot Wax chile peppers are a classic wax-type variety producing long, tapered, banana-shaped pods typically 5-8 inches long and 1-2 inches wide, with smooth, glossy, waxy skin that starts a pale creamy-yellow or light green and ripens to a bright orange-red. The flesh is thick and crisp with a bright, tangy chili flavor and moderate to medium-hot heat (5,000-10,000 Scoville units, often comparable to a jalapeño but with a cleaner, fruitier kick that's less vegetal). These peppers are highly versatile: use fresh in salsas, relishes, or pickled as rings; stuff and grill or fry; roast for smoky depth in sauces and dips; slice into stir-fries, omelets, or sandwiches; or dry and grind for homemade chili flakes and powders—their color progression and heat level make them a favorite for adding zing without extreme burn. This variety is a reliable choice for Utah because it's early-maturing and heat-tolerant for our hot, dry summers, adapts well to alkaline soils with good drainage, and matures quickly enough to produce abundant pods in our shorter high-elevation season when using transplants—local extensions like USU often list it among dependable hot peppers for northern Utah home gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salt City Gardens","offers":[{"title":"Individual Plant","offer_id":44849148199021,"sku":"hwax-pep-01","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2-Pack","offer_id":44849228316781,"sku":"hwax-pep-02","price":8.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-Pack","offer_id":44849148166253,"sku":"hwax-pep-04","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/6774\/9997\/files\/HungarianWax.jpg?v=1773703970","url":"https:\/\/saltcitygardens.com\/products\/hungarian-hot-wax-chile-pepper","provider":"Salt City Gardens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
