Aruba Hybrid Pepper: Sweet, Early, and Versatile for Stuffing and Roasting

Superb choice for both home gardens and fresh markets, delivering a continuous supply of long, slender fruits perfect for nearly any culinary application.

The fruits typically measure 7–10 inches long and 2–2.5 inches wide, offering an ideal size for stuffing and slicing.
