Capsicum annuum, better known as Capsicum, is a genus of flowering plants in the nightshade family (Solanaceae).
It is native to America and most commonly used in culinary condiments and is usually compared to the chili pepper, although the term "capsicum" can also refer to a variety of peppers with different scoville ratings depending on the degree of pungency.
Capsicum has been increasingly used as a dietary supplement in recent years due to its presence of natural bioactive compounds such as capsaicin, pro-vitamin A and carotenoids.
