Italian Frying Pepper Seeds
The sweet Italian frying pepper, commonly known as the Cubanelle pepper, is a cherished ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine, particularly in Italian and Spanish dishes. These vibrant, elongated peppers are typically light green to yellow in color, though they can ripen to a striking red or orange. Known for their mild, sweet flavor and thin walls, Cubanelles are perfect for frying, roasting, and stuffing, making them a versatile addition to any culinary repertoire.
One of the standout features of the Cubanelle pepper is its ability to retain a satisfying crunch even after being cooked. This quality makes it an excellent choice for sautéing with onions and garlic, adding a delightful texture and flavor to various dishes. Cubanelles are also commonly used in salads, stir-fries, and as a topping for pizzas and sandwiches. Their mild heat level makes them a family-friendly option that can be enjoyed by those who might shy away from spicier peppers.

How to Save Seeds
Peppers are self pollinators, but will cross within the same species much like squash so it's best not to plant two of the same species for more information on the meaning of this read the squash part of the article. Separate by at least 500ft. Once peppers are ripe on stalk and fully dry harvest them cut open and scoop out seeds. Allow to dry for a week or so. Dry method works great.
