Capsicum Annuum
A very sweet chili pepper ideal for all types of cooking. Use them in place of bell peppers in the Cajun Holy Trinity (bell peppers, onion, celery), for smaller stuffed peppers, for sweeter sauces, soups, stews, and even steeping to flavor liquids. The flavor is distinctively fruity.

Peter George Hauschner says
I grow a lot of hot peppers in my Virginia garden, but I plant these with my sweet peppers. I have never thought of them as hot at all. I think my significant other, who can't tolerate anything hot, may have sensed the spice in one of my dishes lately. I love them and added them to a hot sauce recipe from your site. Thank you for your excellent suggestions on what to do with peppers. I've enjoyed this rag for many years, even from when it was a small paperback.
