Etymology
The word 'pimiento' originates from the Spanish language, where it means 'pepper.' It was borrowed into English in the late 19th century to refer specifically to a sweet variety of pepper. The pimiento is often associated with Mediterranean cuisine and has been cultivated in various regions, particularly in Spain and the Americas. Typically, pimientos are harvested when they are fully ripe, which gives them their characteristic redness. The use of pimiento has also expanded to culinary contexts where it is brined or pickled, adding a unique flavor to dishes. The popularity of pimiento cheese, a Southern delicacy in the United States, has further cemented the term in popular culture.
