They are in the same botanical family as bell peppers and many other hotter varieties of chili peppers.  Most of us know peperoncinis as pickled peppers, which are preserved in vinegar in commercially packaged jars. Banana peppers or yellow wax peppers may also be sold as peperoncini.

Kidney beans that are white in color are known as cannellini beans.
