Beaver dam is a Hungarian heirloom pepper that was brought to Beaver Dam, Wisconsin in 1929 by the Joe Hussli family.[3] These 13cm (5in) long by 6½cm (2½in) tapered peppers initially grow erect on the plant before gravity takes its course. They are crunchy in texture and mildly hot to taste, with excellent flavor. The peppers start bright green before maturing to deep red in approx 80 days. They are great when paired with tomatillos in a salsa.[1]
