A little sunshine for your snack plate! Lunchbox Yellow peppers have a sweet, fruity flavor that makes them perfect for lunchboxes, salads and dipping—or munching while you check on your garden.
These mini sweet peppers grow approximately 2½–3 inches long and ripen from green to yellow, then golden yellow. Enjoy them fresh for a crunchy snack, or sauté them to add a splash of color to dinner.

Growing Lunchbox Yellow Peppers

Leave room for the mature plant, and gently shake flowering branches to help with pollination when growing indoors.
