Sweet Banana Peppers, with their elongated and curved shape, resemble their namesake fruit and add a splash of mild, sweet flavor to a variety of dishes. Their vibrant yellow hue, sometimes maturing to orange or red, brings a pop of color to any plate. Often measuring 4 to 6 inches long, these peppers have a smooth, thin, and waxy skin encasing a crunchy and juicy flesh. They shine when pickled, tossed in salads, grilled on pizzas, stuffed with savory fillings, or sliced into sandwiches and wraps. Besides adding a tender texture and tangy sweetness to culinary creations, Sweet Banana Peppers contain vitamin C, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients, making them a delightful and healthful addition to your diet.
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.
