The name piman comes from the French word piment, which means pepper. These peppers are smaller than regular capsicums and have a thin skin with a bittersweet flavour. This green pepper is full of vitamins. Select peppers with a vibrant hue and shiny, perky skin. These green peppers are very sensitive to water. Store them in a plastic bag in the refrigerator.
