Description

The generic name may come from Latin capsa, meaning ‘box’, presumably alluding to the pods; or from the Greek word κάπτω kapto, ‘to gulp’.[4][5][6] The name “pepper” comes from the similarity of piquance (spiciness or “heat”) of the flavor to that of black pepperPiper nigrum[dubious ], although there is no botanical relationship with it or with Sichuan pepper. The original term, chilli (now chile in Mexico) came from the Nahuatl word chīlli, denoting a larger Capsicum variety cultivated at least since 3000 BC, as evidenced by remains found in pottery from Puebla and Oaxaca.[7] Different varieties were cultivated in South America, where they are known as ajíes (singular ají), from the Quechua term for Capsicum.[1]

The fruit (technically berries in the strict botanical sense) of Capsicum plants have a variety of names depending on place and type. The more piquant varieties are commonly called chili peppers, or simply chilis. The large, mild form is called bell pepper, or by color or both (green pepper, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, etc.) in North America and South Africasweet pepper or simply pepper in the United KingdomIreland and Malaysia,[8] but typically called capsicum in AustraliaIndiaNew Zealand[9] and Singapore.

Both whole and powdered chili are frequent ingredients in dishes prepared throughout the world, and characteristic of several cuisine styles, including MexicanSichuan (Szechuan) ChineseKoreanCajun and Creole, along with most South Asian and derived (e.g. Jamaicancurries. The powdered form is a key ingredient in various commercially prepared foodstuffs, such as pepperoni (a sausage), chili con carne (a meat stew), and hot sauces.[citation needed]
