Pick light green or golden-yellow for the classic pickling stage, harvesting with scissors. Frequent picking keeps the plants setting new fruit through the season. Benefits & uses Pepperoncini are made for pickling whole in vinegar brine, then piling onto Greek salads, submarine sandwiches, pizzas, and antipasto plates. They're also mild enough to enjoy fresh.
