The pimento, pimiento, or cherry pepper is a variety of large, red, heart-shaped chili pepper that measures 3 to 4 inches long and 2 to 3 inches wide.

The flesh of the pimento is sweet, succulent and more aromatic than that of the red bell pepper.

Some varieties of the pimento type are hot, including the Floral Gem and Santa Fe Grande varieties. Pimento or pimentão are Portuguese words for “bell pepper”, while pimenta refers both to chili peppers and to black peppercorns. It is typically used fresh, or pickled and jarred.
