 Peppers are members of the Capsicum genus of plants. Peppers exist in many varieties, each differing in shape, size, color, taste and degree of spiciness (or heat). Peppers are sometimes categorized as either bell peppers, sweet peppers or hot peppers. Otherwise, peppers are simply called either sweet peppers (peppers with no heat, including bell peppers) or chili peppers (hot peppers).
Bell peppers are the most common type of pepper. They are usually referred to by their color—red peppers, green peppers, yellow peppers, etc. As bell peppers ripen on the vine, they change color (from green) and become sweeter. Peppers are often roasted to create a more robust taste. Pepper strips are popular in sandwiches or pizza toppings.
Banana peppers are long, yellow and banana-shaped peppers with a delightfully sweet flavor. They are used in a wide variety of dishes.
Pepperoncinis, also known as golden peppers, are a stout, sweet variety, pale yellow-green in color. Pepperoncinis are pickled, crunchy, and have a mild salty taste. They are often served in sandwiches or as part of antipasto.
Pimiento (also spelled 'pimento') is another variety of sweet pepper. Pimientos are large, red and heart-shaped peppers. More aromatic than red bells, pimientos are delectably sweet. They are popular as a garnish or as an ingredient in salads, sauces and stews.
Cherry peppers, also called Hungarian cherry peppers, are small and round. When fully ripe, they turn from green to bright red. Their flavor ranges from mild and sweet to medium hot.
Chili peppers are a very common hot pepper. They are slender in shape and are usually referred to in terms of their color—green chilies or red chilies. Green when immature, chilies slowly turn from yellow to orange to red as they ripen. Green and red varieties are popular in Mexican food as well as ingredients in sauces.
Piquillo peppers are slender, sweet red peppers native to northern Spain. They are hand-picked, fire-roasted, and peeled. Piquillos are often served stuffed with cheese (or other ingredients), or added to dips, sauces or salads.
Jalapenos are small to medium-sized, green, thick-skinned peppers that are medium-hot to hot in taste. Jalapenos are eaten whole, or sliced and used in sandwiches, as pizza toppings, or with nachos.
Jalapeno Escabeche is a mix of pickled jalapenos and carrots. It is a common side dish.
Generally, peppers are high in vitamin A, vitamin C, antioxidants and folates.
Due to their strong, distinctive flavor and kick, peppers are popular in a wide variety of dishes and sauces.
