Fun Facts:
The sweet pimento is used for stuffing olives
The pimiento was originally hand cut into small pieces and hand stuffed into olives to complement the strong flavor of the olive
This method was very time intensive so a mechanical process was developed where the pimiento was shot via hydraulic pump through the olive, pitting the olive in the process
Peppers grow green turning to red
