Yellow Hot:A variety of yellow chiles usually harvested at 4 to 6 inches long. Often mistaken for the banana chile, the Yellow Hot or Yellow Wax pepper has a hotter flavor and is a larger size. Also known as a Hungarian Wax pepper or chile, this pepper may have a hot flavor, but generally ranges from medium to hot. It is often served fresh in salads and salsas, or as a pickled appetizer. A similar stuffed food dish known as Chiles Rellenos, uses a milder pepper, such as an Anaheim. But if a more robust flavor is desired, the Yellow Wax pepper also works well.
