I had an ornamental pepper plant at a prior house and tried making salsa by roasting a couple of them. It was actually surprisingly good - the peppers had a great flavor. They were very small, and I did deseed them before roasting, so overall the salsa was hot but not unacceptably so.
I had one that I bought not realising it was ornamental. Some were mild, some were insane and the hottest thing I’ve ever experienced. All were pretty bitter. I think they were 'ornamental" because there inconsistent. Vivid purple though so actually pretty until the birds ate them all.
Mine went through a whole spectrum of colors in a weird order. I want to say it was green -> purple -> yellow -> orange -> red. They were good when they were red.
