  2. -          csípősmentes csemege (delicate and mild),
  3. -          csemege paprika (similar to the previous but more pungent),
  4. -          csípős csemege (even more pungent),
  5. -          édesnemes ("noble sweet"; slightly pungent and bright red),
  6. -          félédes (semi-sweet with medium pungency),
  7. -          rózsa (mildly pungent and pale red), and
  8. -          erős (hottest and light brown to orange).
