Capsicum/ 'Bell Pepper'

Capsicum/ Shimla Mirch(Hindi) is also called as 'Bell Pepper' in Mexico!!



The name given to the Capsicum fruits varies between English-speaking countries.
In Australia, New Zealand and India, heatless species are called "capsicums" while hot ones are called "chilli/chillies" (double L). Pepperoncini are also known as "sweet capsicum". The term "bell peppers" is rarely used, and then usually in reference to C. annuum and other varieties which have a bell-shape and are fairly hot, they are more usually called "bell chillies".

The yellow ones have a slight sweet element. The Red ones have a slight sour element.
