What is a cubano chile pepper?

The Cubano Chile pepper, also known as the Cubanelle pepper, is a variety of sweet pepper that originates from the Caribbean, particularly Cuba. It is characterized by its elongated, tapered shape and a vibrant yellow-green to red color when fully ripened. Cubano peppers are mild in heat, typically ranging from 100 to 1,000 Scoville Heat Units, making them ideal for cooking in a variety of dishes, including salsas, stir-fries, and stuffed pepper recipes. Their sweet, fruity flavor complements both savory and spicy dishes.
