{"product_id":"sweet-banana-sweet-pepper","title":"Sweet Banana Pepper","description":"\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eSweet Banana pepper is a mild, heirloom sweet pepper variety that produces long, tapered, banana-shaped fruits typically 6-8 inches long and 1.5-2 inches wide, with thick, waxy walls that start pale yellow-green and ripen to a bright, glossy banana-yellow (sometimes turning orange-red if left longer). The flesh is crisp, juicy, and meaty with a sweet, tangy flavor and almost no heat (0-500 Scoville units)—offering a pleasant, fruity sweetness that's far milder than hot banana peppers and excellent for fresh eating. These peppers are perfect sliced raw into salads, sandwiches, and crudités for crunch and color; pickled as classic sweet banana rings; stuffed with cheese or sausage and baked; grilled or roasted for enhanced sweetness; or added to stir-fries, fajitas, and antipasto platters where their mild taste and bright yellow hue stand out. This variety is a reliable choice for Utah because it's early-maturing for our shorter high-elevation season, heat-tolerant in hot, dry summers, and performs consistently in well-drained soil with full sun—USU Extension often lists it among dependable sweet peppers for northern Utah home gardens when using transplants for a timely start. It's great for containers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salt City Gardens","offers":[{"title":"Individual Plant","offer_id":44849158652013,"sku":"sban-pep-01","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2-Pack","offer_id":44849230708845,"sku":"sban-pep-02","price":8.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-Pack","offer_id":44849158619245,"sku":"sban-pep-04","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/6774\/9997\/files\/SweetBanana.jpg?v=1773704152","url":"https:\/\/saltcitygardens.com\/products\/sweet-banana-sweet-pepper","provider":"Salt City Gardens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
