The Beaver Dam pepper is a Capsicum annuum cultivar derived from seeds brought to Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, by Hungarian immigrant Joe Hussli in 1912.[2] It is listed in the Slow Food Foundation's "Ark of Taste",[3] and is the subject of an annual festival held in Beaver Dam each September.[4]
Characteristics
Beaver Dam pepper plants are sensitive to moisture and produce more fruits in dry conditions.[5] The fruits are horn-shaped, thick-walled and red or orange when ripe, reaching 6 to 9 inches in length.[1] Because of the size of the fruits, the plant may require a trellis or cage for support.[5] They are eaten raw, stuffed, or in soups and stews.[6]
