Overview

Golden Treasure is a sweet Italian heirloom with long tapered fruit, 8 to 9 inches by about 2 inches at the shoulder. The flesh is medium thick and the skin tender, so it fries and roasts without peeling. Fruit start green and ripen to a glossy yellow. It is on the later side at around 80 days from transplant, so start seed early. Use it like any Italian frying pepper: sautéed with onions, roasted, or sliced raw for its sweetness.
