Capsicum annuum, pepper, is a member of the Solanaceae, the family which includes several other important vegetable plants such as potato and tomato. Peppers are important ingredients in the diets of several communities throughout the world. Consumption and cultivation of hot peppers is increasing due to the fact that it is now known to be rich More...in vitamins and has high antioxidant content. Paprika is a spice made from ground, dried fruit of Capsicum annuum.Peppers come in several varieties that range in size, shape, color, and pungency but essentially can be categorized as sweet peppers and hot peppers. Hot peppers are generally small while the sweet variety has a large fruit. The hotness in peppers is due to a substance called capsicin. Less...
