Pepper Types. Seed companies break the peppers we grow down into two categories: hot and sweet. The hot types include Cayenne, Jalapeno and Anaheim. Examples of sweet peppers are Bell and Pimiento. Banana and Cherry peppers come both sweet and hot. Mildly hot, elongated, blunt-ended pods measure from four to 10 inches long and turn from green to red at maturity.
