Horned Pepper
Annual plant with an upright stem, ranging in height from 50 cm to over 2 meters. It branches at each node, with alternate, petiolate leaves that are dark green. The fruit is a green berry, hollow, elongated in shape, and not very thick. It is ideal for frying, as its thin walls cook quickly and absorb little oil; in some southern regions, it is known as "garden birds" or fair peppers.
They are consumed green, highly valued for their characteristic flavor. Besides being eaten fresh, cooked, or as a condiment or "spice" in typical dishes from various countries, there is a wide range of industrial products that use them in human food: frozen, dehydrated, pickled, canned, pastes, and sauces.
