Crunchy and full of flavor, peppers can range from sweet to extremely hot. Mild peppers are often used for eating fresh, casseroles or stuffing. Hot peppers may be dried then ground into powder to add zest to culinary dishes. Wear gloves when handling hot varieties; oil from seeds and insides can be irritating to skin and eyes.
