I grew Striped Stuffer (Striped Cavern) this year. Didn’t spot it in our catalog yet.
\nReally solid variety! For what it’s built to do, it’s actually fantastic. I stuffed them with shredded cheese, seasoned cottage cheese, egg, and fresh herbs, then popped them straight into the microwave to bake. Quick, easy, and super tasty. Definitely worth keeping one plant in the garden every year just for stuffing.

Striped Cavern, also circulated as Striped Stuffer.
\nA variety bred specifically for stuffing, completely hollow on the inside. Just like working with a sweet bell pepper, you can core out the small central seed cluster in seconds and pack the interior with whatever filling you want. The exterior walls hold their structure and don’t collapse into mush during baking.
\nVery high-yielding variety. The fruits are cuboid and blocky, red with bright yellow stripes, pulling up to 5 oz (140 g). It’s an indeterminate vine; in the greenhouse, training it to 2 or 3 stems delivers the best results.
