Piment 
Pfeffer PEPPER Seitecaras 
Capsicum frutescens 
Garden peppers belong to a different botanical family than the black tree pepper of 
commerce. Sweet or mild fleshed varieties are used in salads, for stuffing, pickles, pro- 
cessed cheese, and some are dried for grinding into paprika. The pungent fleshed varieties 
are used in relishes, pickles, seasoning sauces, and for drying and grinding into red pepper. 
The pepper is a long warm season crop, easily damaged by frost, but during periods of 
very high temperature may drop blossoms and not resume setting fruits until more 
moderate weather. Extremely rich soil also may result in a poor set of fruits, but this 
can be counteracted by root pruning. Soil should be fertile enough for strong leaf growth 
which will shade the fruits and prevent sunburn.
