what is the history of capsicum peppers
The Natural History of Chile Peppers. Most cultivated peppers â mild bells to hot jalapeÃ±os â are the fruits from different varieties of one plant species, Capsicum annuum. Closely related are Capsicum frutescens, from which Tabasco sauce is made, and C. chinense, the source of the scorchingly hot habanero or Scotch bonnet chile.
