What pepper plant do I buy to get pepperoncinis?

You'll want to buy pepper plants labelled "peperoncini" or "long hot peppers". These are the common names for the specific variety of chili peppers that produce the small, thin, and slightly curved peppers known as pepperoncini.

Here's why you might see other names:

* "Pepperoncini" is often used loosely and could refer to other similar types of long, thin peppers like "friggitello".

* "Long hot peppers" is a more general term, and while it includes pepperoncini, it can also refer to other peppers with a similar shape.

To be absolutely sure, double-check the label of the pepper plant to ensure it specifically says "peperoncini" or "long hot peppers". This way, you'll be confident you're getting the right type of pepper to make your favorite pepperoncini dishes.
