Mildly Hot (SHU: 500-1,000). An Ark of Taste, Slow Food variety.

The Hussli Tomato Pepper is a small, heavy pepper with a shape reminiscent of an heirloom tomato and thick walls that contribute to their weight. The Hussli tomato pepper is mildly spicy, though heat level varies significantly between peppers. The walls of the peppers are double the thickness of typical pepper varieties, giving them a meaty, yet crunchy texture and exceptional juiciness. It is excellent raw, and can also be pickled. The peppers are also used in soups and stews and a dish originating from southern Louisiana called maque choux made with corn, peppers, onion, tomato and garlic.
