Hungarian Yellow Sweet Wax Pepper
Hungarian Yellow Sweet Wax Pepper (65 days)
Hungarian Wax Peppers are a creamy-yellow translucent color, very similar to the Banana Wax Pepper.
However, these two peppers differ in heat, color and size.
The Hungarian Wax has a thin skin with a thick flesh due to its immaturity. Picked at an immature stage, the Hungarian Wax Pepper is yellow and has a sweet hot flavor varying from warm to moderately hot.
During the 65 day Hungarian Wax Pepper maturing stage the color changes to an orange-red and the heat rises to an almost inedible intense heat while keeping its sweetness.
Although the pepper can be eaten at any stage, the Hungarian Wax Pepper is most popular in the yellow stages.
This pepper is traditionally pickled or made into yellow mole sauces.
