‘Dragon Roll’ is a delicious favorite at farmers markets nationwide. Smoke won’t come out your mouth and ears when you eat ‘Dragon Roll’, rather it delivers a finely tuned, sensuous mingling of heat and sweet. Long favored in Japanese cuisine, the slender, finger-long, chartreuse-green 3-5" peppers are subtly smoky when young but mature to a Scoville rating of 200, about a tenth as fiery as Jalapeno. Perfect for roasting with sesame seeds, adding a light jolt to tempura, or used raw as a mildly kicky condiment. Pick peppers when green before they transition to red.
