Pepperoncini peppers

Pepperoncini peppers, also known as Tuscan peppers, golden Greek peppers, or sweet Italian peppers, are a variety of mild chili pepper. They are commonly pickled and used in various cuisines to add a slight heat and tangy flavor. Originating from Italy and Greece, pepperoncini are small, thin, and slightly wrinkled, usually light green to yellow in color.

They rate 100 to 500 on the Scoville scale, which is a measure of the spiciness of chili peppers.

These peppers are often found in salads, pizzas, sandwiches, and antipasto platters, providing a crunchy texture and a zesty flavor that complements many dishes.
