Description

Sunny, mild, and versatile. Sweet Banana delivers long, tapered pods with zero heat (0 SHU) and a clean, garden-sweet flavor. Pick pale yellow for crisp tang and maximum crunch; let them blush orange to red for fuller sweetness and a hint of fruit.

Plants are compact and productive, typically 18–24 inches tall with a tidy, branching habit that thrives in beds or containers. Foliage frames abundant clusters of 6–8 inch fruits—smooth, slightly curved “bananas” with medium-thick walls and small seed cavities. Pods set early and keep coming in waves through summer.

In the kitchen, Sweet Banana is a classic for pickling whole or in rings, quick sautés, and sheet-pan roasts. Slice into salads and sandwiches for gentle sweetness and color; roast and peel for antipasti; or stuff with soft cheeses, grains, or sausage for party bites. The slender shape cooks fast and evenly, and diced peppers freeze well for year-round use.

Selected for reliable set across a range of climates, Sweet Banana rewards steady moisture and full sun with continuous harvests. Pick at light yellow to keep plants producing, or let clusters color for peak sweetness—either way, it’s a market-friendly staple and a home-garden favorite.
