Overview
Antohi Romanian is a Romanian heirloom frying pepper that reached North America through Silviu Antohi, who brought seed to Canada in the 1980s. It is notably early: upright plants set smooth, tapered fruit about 4 by 2 inches with a pointed end, pale yellow at 53 days and ripening to red. Walls are thin, the flavor is sweet with no bitterness and no heat, and the fruit needs no peeling after roasting. Open pollinated, so you can save seed. A dependable choice for short-season gardeners who want sweet peppers early, and for anyone who fries or pickles peppers.
