Thanksgiving Day Question

MDK asked:

What are pimentos? Are they a food product of themselves or are they a by product of something else such as red peppers? Where are they grown?

"Pimentos" most often spelled pimientos are a by product of themselves. Pimientos are actually there own kind of pepper. They are mainly grown in Spain, but can aslo be found in a few South American countries. They are a very sweet pepper, which is why they have been combined often with olives, to counteract the acidic nature brought to olives.

They are also the pepper that is responsible for paprika, as that is the result of a ground pimiento pepper.

This was something that was too difficult for me to research on my own, so I found myself a companion to help.
