Peperoncini (or pepperoncini) are a variety of the species Capsicum Annuum. While called peperoncini in American English, peppers of this particular kind, in Italy, are called friggitello ( The plural being friggitelli) or more generally peperone (plural peperoni) like other sweet varieties of peppers, while the term peperoncini (singular peperoncino) is used for hotter varieties of chili peppers. The Greek varieties are sweeter and less bitter than the Italian varieties grown in Tuscany. Peperoncini are mild with a slight heat and a hint of bitterness, and are commonly pickled and sold packaged in jars.

Peperoncini grow on a bushy plant that reaches about 2 and a half foot high and produces sweet green peppers that turn red when mature. Usually picked at 2 to 3 inches long, these bright green, wrinkled peppers taper to a blunt, lobed end.

Peperoncini are typically used in sandwiches, salads, tossed salads served in pizzerias, antipasto platters, and as a garnish to lend dishes a crunchy texture and a salty taste.
