Description: Capsicum is a genus of plants from the nightshade family (Solanaceae). Some of the members of Capsicum are used as spices, vegetables and medicines. The fruit of Capsicum plants have a variety of names depending on place and type. They are commonly called 'chili pepper' or just pepper in Britain and the US. The large mild form is called bell pepper in the US, capsicum in Australian English and paprika in some other countries (though paprika can also mean different types of powder of dried capsicum fruits). Hot varieties are called chillis in Australia. Capsicums originated in Central and South America, but are now grown worldwide.
