Need help identifying this common long green chile pepper from the store

Sam & Oliver · Mar 29, 2013

The store has these mislabled as "misc hot pepper" and no actual variety is named. These are usually sweeter and not very hot in my opinion, and I used them in my

Goin' Green mash that turned out to be very tasty.

If I decide to continue this recipe I'll need to order these in bulk but the grocer didn't really know what they were actually called. Any ideas?

Unripe cayenne?

Jwala/Finger Hot? That would be my guess from store peppers near me..... They never seem that hot or tasty to me and look similar.

try roasting the peppers first, some of the bigger green peppers are are not very good just raw.

Look like a large cayenne type unripe.

these aren't very big at all. About the diameter of your ring finger and about 5" long

Oh, I thought they were the kind that are like 1"-1.25" across, maybe 6-9" long. They're sweet and hot and available in every Asian or "international" market here in North GA. They're just called "long hot" or "Korean hot" and almost spongy inside, sometimes wrinkly at the top like an aribibi.

I have a very similar chilli - described as "Green Indian" when I bought the seeds, but i have never been able to find a recognised name,

I agree with the guys above, some kind of cayenne.
