So named because of their resemblance to cherries, red cherry peppers are deep orange to bright red at maturity. Nearly spherical, slender long stems hold these cherrylike beauties proudly above the foliage of the plant. Ranging from mild to fairly hot, some are quite sweet. They may be small or large and either erect or pendent. Producing smooth rich dark green leaves, this lovely plant is often grown as an ornamental, as well as for its fiery fruit. Cherry peppers are never dried. 3, record 2, English, - hot%20cherry%20pepper

Piment cerise(assez doux, 1-3, parfois brûlant, 6-7). Comme le fruit auquel il ressemble, il est parfois d’un beau rouge écarlate, avec une chair épaisse. En principe, plus sa couleur est claire(rosé ou jaune pâle), moins il est fort. On le trouve surtout en Hongrie et en Europe de l'Est. Souvent conservé dans du vinaigre, il est utilisé dans les salades et les salsas. 1, record 2, French, - piment%20cerise

The fruit of [the litchi], usually eaten dried or preserved: it consists of a single seed surrounded by a sweet, edible, raisinlike pulp, enclosed in a rough, brown, papery shell. 6, record 5, English, - lychee
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 OBS
In a few days the fruits dehydrate naturally, the outer skin becomes brown and brittle, and the flesh becomes dry and shriveled like a raisin, somewhat musky in flavor. Because of this tendency, the fruits became known as "lychee nuts." This is a misunderstanding. They are not nuts, and the seed is not edible. 7, record 5, English, - lychee
