Capsicum annuum 'Gamba'

The exact origin of the Gamba pepper is unknown, but it is an ethnic variety. One translation of "gamba" means sweet red pepper. This pepper is very well spoken-of as a cooking pepper. It can be used for stir-frys, baking, and stuffing. As it cooks it becomes even sweeter. The fruits are deep-red, flattened bells, approximately 7cm (3in) in diameter and 5cm (2in) deep. 'Gamba' is easy to grow, productive, and has a high resistance to disease.
