This explains sweet vs hot pimentos:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pimento
I use fresh red bell peppers in salads (slivered thin or chopped). Fresh has Vit C in it.
You can also bake red bells to soften the flesh, but I'd expect some nutrient loss that way. Roasted red bell peppers are very nice too. When you get the pimento in olives it has been pickled.
I am not sure all jar pimentos are pickled. So read the labels carefully.
