Bell The standard mild, sweet, fleshy pepper. Immature fruit are green and slightly bitter, becoming sweeter as they ripen and turn yellow, orange or red.
Ramiro (Aka Romano) These long, tapering, irregularly shaped peppers are usually dark red, but occasionally we send out green ones in the veg boxes. Sweeter and more flavour some than the bell pepper, they’re largely interchangeable with them in recipes.
PadrÓn Small green Spanish peppers. The majority are mild and sweet, but about 10 per cent can be extremely hot and sadly there’s no way of telling – you just have to take the risk.
