Peppers of various varieties

1. The Bell Pepper

These large sweet peppers come in a variety of colors (green, red, orange, yellow, purple and more). They are ideal for stuffing due to their size and mild-sweet flavor, but they are also incredibly versatile, adding flavor to any dish they are used in.

2. Miniature Sweet Pepper

These tiny peppers resemble bell peppers in appearance and flavor, but they are smaller, have fewer seeds to remove, and are often slightly sweeter. Use them as a scoop for your favorite dip, or roast or sauté them like a bell pepper.

3. Pepper Cubanelle

This sweet pepper, also known as the Italian Frying Pepper, has a mild heat. This long, light greenish-yellow pepper has a slight wrinkle to its thin skin and is widely used in Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Dominican Republic cuisines. They are ideal for quick frying due to their thin skin, but they can also be roasted. Add a sliced one of these to your pizza to up the ante.

4. Banana and Pepper

These peppers were named after their long, curved shape and yellowish color. They have a tangy but mild flavor and are commonly found pickled for piling on sandwiches.

5. Cherry Chili

Pimento (or Pimiento) peppers, also known as cherry peppers, are red, heart-shaped peppers that are mild, sweet, and smell like a supercharged red bell pepper. They are most commonly found in jars and can be used to add sweet pepper flavor to dishes similar to roasted red peppers.

6.Poblano Pepper

Poblano peppers, while hot, are on the mild side of the spicy pepper scale. Poblano peppers are thick and meaty like bell peppers, but with a mild kick. They are ideal for stuffing due to their size. They can also be roasted, grilled, or sautéed. They are one of Mexico's most popular peppers, and they are anchos when fully ripened and dried.

7.Jalapeño

Jalapeos reign supreme among spicy peppers. Not because they are the spiciest (in fact, compared to most, they are relatively mild on the Scoville scale), but because of their popularity and availability. They do have some heat, but it's a pleasant kind of heat. It would be incomplete without it in guacamole.

8. Fresno Pepper

They may resemble a red jalapeo, but they are more complex and have a bit more heat. As they mature, Fresnos become more fruity and smokier in flavor. Try these out if you want to try something new.

9. Serrano Pepper

These long, thin red peppers pack a clean, bright punch without overwhelming you. They have thin skins, so if you decide to roast a bunch (which I would! ), you can chop them with the charred skins on without peeling. Serve with salads, salsa, and chiles.

10. Thai Pepper

Thai pepper comes in a plethora of varieties. The Bird's Eye pepper is most likely to be found in the grocery store, but all Thai peppers have a similar red color and pack a lot of heat for such a small pepper. They are commonly used to add a spicy kick to soups and stews.
