Peperoncino (Italian: [peperonˈtʃiːno]; pl.: peperoncini [-ni]) is the generic Italian name for hot chili peppers, specifically some regional cultivars of the species Capsicum annuum and C. frutescens (chili pepper and Tabasco pepper, respectively).[1] The sweet pepper is called peperone (pl.: peperoni) in Italian.[2] Like most peppers, the fruit is green or yellowish-green when young, and ripens to a red color.
