Black Hungarian peppers have a unique dark color and are in the shape of a Jalapeno. They are mildly hot and have a delicious smoky flavor. These peppers are good for salads or salsa, when some color is desired but not too much heat. The tall plants have beautiful purple flowers that make this variety very ornamental. Rare and colorful!
