Definition

  1. 1
    Fruto en baya de cualquier especie del género Capsicum, que comprende varias especies de plantas solanáceas oriundas del continente americano; se consume en diferentes preparaciones y se emplea como medicina. Varía en coloración y tamaño de acuerdo a la variedad; puede ser cúbico, cónico o esférico. De interior hueco, está dividido en dos o cuatro costillas verticales interiores que portan las semillas; cuando madura sus colores abarcan, según la especie, desde el blanco y el amarillo hasta el morado intenso, pasando por el naranja, el rojo brillante y el lavanda; el color verde es señal de inmadurez, aunque muchas especies se consumen también de ese modo. Se ingieren crudos o cocidos en innumerables preparaciones. Muchas variedades son de sabor intensamente picante por su alto contenido en capsaicina, único rasgo en común que portan con la pimienta.
  2. 2
    (Capsicum spp.) Por extensión, planta que da estos frutos.
