(Black) Pepper = Piper nigrum, native to south Asia, used across large parts of the world since antiquity. Bell pepper or chilli = Capsicum annuum, native to Central America, now also grown in Eurasia.

minus-squareemergencyfood@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 days agoNo no, bell pepper and chilli are (nearly) the same - Capsicum annuum and closely related species. Their hotness comes from capsaicin. Pepper is completely different - it comes from Piper nigrum, and contains piperin. Confusingly, it is also called black, green or white pepper.
