Peppers are known to make any meal spicy, whether they’re large or tiny. Small peppers are found in almost every continent across the globe. Mostly found in the American continent and Mexico, cherry peppers are fairly spicy among small peppers.
What are Cherry Peppers?
The cherry pepper can be used as a substitute for pimento peppers. However, the two should not be confused both in appearance and taste. The peppers are round, whereas pimento peppers are grown into a heart shape, and these peppers offer a greater level of heat. You may also see these peppers referred to as cherry bombs.
What do Cherry Peppers taste like?
While pimento peppers and cherry chili peppers both appear strikingly similar, there is a subtle difference in taste. You’ll find two types of cherry peppers, one with a crisper outer layer while the other will be softer. On the inside, both will offer the same level of juiciness. It’s both crunchy and juicy at the same time. You’ll often find them as a flavoring to cured meats, or pickled, where they are great for topping sandwiches. For your peppers to be less spicy, slice them and remove the inner membrane to tone down the hotness and spice. Other than direct toppings, you can use also mince these peppers for general cooking. You’ll find these peppers in red and green, with green being the unripened harvest. They are still edible and offer a nice, spicy crunch.
