Variety Characteristic
The pepper plant is part of the family Solanaceae, native to the Americas.
It seems that the name “Capsicum” comes from “capsa,” which means box, and owes its name to the particular shape of the fruit (a berry) that resembles a box with their own seeds.
It seems that originates in Brazil. And arrived in Europe around the year 1500 after the discovery of the Americas.
The plant is a shrub with an upright habit, and has glossy green leaves, which may have a hair on the trunk and on the underside of the leaves, its flowers, white, single, appearing at the leaf axil, one per node.
It is normally eaten the fruit, a berry initially green hollow and fleshy, but fully ripe seeds turn yellow or red, in the pulp, seeds, round and flattened, but also in the placenta (the white inside) of the result is the “capsicin”, an alkaloid which gives the characteristic spicy flavor to this vegetable.
The pepper is planted in a greenhouse around February, while the fruits can be harvested in summer and autumn.
Curiosity
From the the same species are part of the hot chilli peppers …
The burning sensation you feel tasting the spicy peppers, does not really exist, in the sense that there is an increase of temperature in our mouth.
Capsicin (an alkaloid which gives the characteristic spicy flavor to this vegetable) interacts only with some thermoreceptors in the mouth, stomach, that send a signal to the brain as if our mouths or our stomach “burn”.
