peppers

Pimento peppers is an umbrella name encompassing a range of sweet pepper varieties that look somewhat similar to bell peppers but apparently differs in taste, shape and size. Pimento, also sometimes written as Pimiento, is Spanish for pepper. Depending on variety, the pepper can have an appearance of a miniature pumpkin, can be conical or heart-shaped with red or blood red skin and flesh when fully ripe. Just like bell peppers, pimento peppers have zero pungency and are used in a variety of culinary recipe applications.
