Elephant's Ear Chili Pepper

by Mike Hultquist · Oct 5, 2014 · 2 Comments ·

Capsicum annuum

Also known as Slonovo Uvo. The Elephant's Ears is a rare large sweet Paprika type from Croatia. The name is derived from the shape, as the pepper flattens when fully grown and resembles the shape of an elephant's ear. In Croatia, this pepper is typically roasted, stuffed, and used for sauces and a variety of condiments. In Croatia and Serbia, it is very popular for Ajvar, a famous chili pepper preserve. The plant produces peppers over 6 inches in length and over 4 inches wide. The fruits ripen from green to red. The Elephant Ears chile plants can grow up to 3 feet tall.
