What is Capsicum?
An ancestral spice, capsicum (peppers) is a diverse and pungent edible fruit from any of the varieties within the Capsicum genus.
There is much interest around the world in knowing more about the medicinal benefits of this natural plant food and culinary
spice! Many people are familiar with the use of chili peppers in the preparation of spicy meals. What is it that makes the chili
pepper spicy, though? the answer is – capsaicin, a water-insoluble derivative of homovanillic acid and also the major active
ingredient in capsicum is responsible for the hot and burning sensation to the tongue.
With the varieties of chili peppers available, it is important to know that the capsaicin content of each type of chili pepper
varies. This natural fruit may be used fresh or dried as a culinary spice, added to teas or taken in capsules to reap its
medicinal benefits.
Bell peppers (Capsicum annuum) are fruits that belong to the nightshade family.
They are related to chili peppers, tomatoes, and breadfruit, all of which are native to Central and South America.
Also called sweet peppers or capsicums, bell peppers can be eaten either raw or cooked.
Like their close relatives, chili peppers, bell peppers are sometimes dried and powdered. In that case, they are referred to as
paprika.
They are low in calories and exceptionally rich in vitamin C and other antioxidants, making them an excellent addition to a
healthy diet.
Bell peppers come in various colors, such as red, yellow and green — which are unripe.
Green, unripe peppers have a slightly bitter flavor and are not as sweet as fully ripe ones.
