Red capsicum

Red capsicum or bell peppers are a close relative of chilli peppers and belong to the nightshade family of plants that
originated in South America. Red peppers are sweet-tasting vegetables that can be eaten raw or cooked. They are
used in a variety of different red capsicum recipes. An organic red capsicum is a capsicum that has been grown and
harvested using approved organic methods. Organic capsicums will not have any residue left behind by pesticides or
synthetic chemicals. Nor will they have been tainted by any genetically modified organisms.

Red peppers as they are often referred to are not as “hot” as chillis, because they have a recessive gene that retards
the production of capsaicin which is the chemical that causes the burning sensation.
