Cubanelle Peppers, with their signature glossy and wrinkled appearance, boast a beautiful, vibrant yellow-green hue that may mature to rich red tones if allowed to ripen. Characterized by their long, tapered body and broad shoulders, these mild peppers offer a light, slightly sweet flavor with a hint of spiciness far milder than traditional bell peppers or spicy chili varieties. Crisp and juicy when raw, they hold their shape well upon cooking, making them perfect for a variety of dishes. Cubanelle Peppers are often used in salads, salsas, and as a color-adding ingredient in stir-fries and Italian sausage sandwiches. Thanks to their thin walls, they are exceptional for quick cooking methods, and their delicate sweetness shines through when roasted, sautéed, or stuffed with an array of fillings. Nutrition-wise, they are a source of vitamin C, vitamin A, and fiber.
Nicolas Donck, a Belgium native, relocated to Georgia and started Crystal Organic Farm back in the mid-90's with a mission to grow healthy, organic produce. Many say he is singlehandedly responsible for introducing Atlantans to many plants of the endive and chicory varieties that were already popular in Belgium. Along the way, Nicolas helped found the Morningside Farmers Market and eventually met the love of his life, and now farm partner, Jeni Jarrard-Donck. Jeni brings an extensive knowledge of medicinal herb cultivation and usage to the partnership, making Crystal Organic one of the most well-rounded and diverse farms in the State.
