The sweet form of this pepper is known as a banana pepper when sweet and Hungarian wax when hot. Both look the same and can not be distinguished until tasted.  They are commonly used in their yellow immature state but turn red when ripe and are popular in salads etc.  A fully ripe Hungarian however is almost too hot to eat
