I have recently moved from San Diego, CA to Stockholm, Sweden and I am unfamiliar with some of the peppers here. The selection is generally pretty bad and sometimes they are just labeled as "Red Chili" or "Green Chili" and nothing else. Also, if any Swedes see this post and have advice on where to find a good selection, let me know! I am trying to get into hot-sauce making and would appreciate any advice regarding these chilis as well.

As you can see in the picture, I was taste testing some of the peppers.
The furthest to the right is small, and I think is some kind of green thai chili? It is pretty damn hot. Just slightly larger than a red thai chili.
The second to the right is not very hot at all in the flesh, and just a little bit of spice in the seeds. I think it might be from Turkey? Usually sold in bags of 10-15.
The third to the right was just labeled as "Red Chili." It is sweet in the flesh, but the seeds are actually spicy. It varies in size pretty significantly in the bag they came in. I think they are from Spain, but not too sure. Usually sold in bags of like 10 or 15
The fourth (bitten out of at the top and bottom) is from a different shop, but might be the same as the one to its right. Also was labeled as "Red Chili." Also sweet tasting flesh, but the seeds weren't not like the one to its right which makes me think it might be a different variety.
The last green one I bought at the same shop as the previous red one. It was just labeled "Green pepper" and is the exact same look in every way to the red one next to it, except that it is green. Not hot.
Thanks for the help!
