Overview
Jimmy Nardello's is the Italian frying pepper that many gardeners plant every year once they have tried it. The long, thin-walled fruit curves and tapers to about 8 inches, turning a crinkly deep red at full ripeness, when it is at its sweetest. Plants reach about 20 to 24 inches and are extremely productive; a couple of plants will keep a household in frying peppers. Count on roughly 80 to 90 days from transplanting for red fruit. Because the walls are thin, the peppers cook down fast in a hot pan with olive oil and need no peeling. Seed Savers Exchange keeps this open-pollinated heirloom in circulation under several names, including Nardello Sweet and Jimmy Nardello's Sweet Italian Frying.
