This sweet pepper, Pimento, is an excellent variety for the home vegetable garden! Abundant yields of heart-shaped fruits turn from green to red when mature and are great for pickling. You can even grow this sweet little guy in containers!
FYI- Pimento simply is the English version of the Spanish word meaning "pepper." According to records, grocers and canners applied this word to the sweet, red Spanish pepper that became very popular after being introduced from their native country. Pimento peppers have a slightly spicy sweetness and aromatic flavor.
