Hi Miss Dewi, I've seen that before too, but actually any capsicum fruit is edible. Some of them don't taste very good though. One well respected Canadian seed company (Vesey's) says in their catalog that Variegata is not edible. I'm growing a different ornamental called Prarie Fire this year, but I grew Variegata last year and ate it with no ill effects. Lots of heat, no taste.
