The Cubanelle, often referred to as the “Cuban pepper” or Ají Cubanela, is a mild sweet pepper that stands out for its unique flavor profile. This pepper offers a subtly sweet taste with just a whisper of spice, making it ideal for culinary creations that range from simple dishes to gourmet masterpieces.
Its thin, tender skin and elongated shape make it a perfect choice for frying, stuffing, or slicing raw into salads for an added crunchy delight.
