WHEN IT COMES TO The Crunch
The common name you use for Capsicum annuum is an indicator of where you grew up. In Australia they are known as capsicums, but in many other parts of the world they’re referred to as peppers, bell peppers or even sweet chilli peppers. In some languages they’re called paprika, which we know as the powdered spice made from the fruit of capsicums.
This confusion of names arises because capsicums are part of the same botanical group as the fiery chilli.family.
