peppers in Macedonia

κέρατα (kérata): long pale green horn-shaped peppers, that sometimes have a bit of a kick

πιπεριά Φλωρίνης (piperiá florínes): Sweet red peppers also shaped like cow horns, that grown in the prefecture of Florina in northwest Macedonia. They are often served roasted (πιπεριές ψητές, piperiés psités), or stuffed with minced meat and rice or feta, dried or preserved in oil or roasted and blended to make áivar; the seeds are dried to make chilli flakes. Designated PDO (ΠΟΠ) in 1994.
