Hot Banana Peppers

Wow, my banana peppers sure got hot.I have always had the mild, sweet banana peppers and they havent been hot. I picked some the other day to put in my chef salad. They were so hot, I had to pick them out.I was picking them while they were still more green than yellow color. Those I put in my salad, were more of a yellow color. Is that why they got hot?Thanks,, Julie

Julie,

There are both varieties, Sweet Banana and Hot Banana peppers. Maybe the seeds got mixed up somehow?

Regards,

I say there's been a mix-up. I'm betting you have Hungarian Waxes :)

Thanks, I guess seed mix up could be a real possibility.Tomorrow, I will pick some more greenish ones and see how they are.Have a great weekend.
