noun

辣椒，番椒

Any fruit of a plant of the botanical genus Capsicum, which has a spicy/burning flavour because it contains capsaicin. (Not all chili peppers are particularly spicy, but all true chili peppers contain some capsaicin, in contrast to e.g. the bell pepper, which is not a true chili pepper and does not.)

Examples :

"My grandmother grows a variety of chili peppers in her garden, some very spicy and some milder. "

我奶奶在她花园里种了各种各样的辣椒，有些很辣，有些则比较温和。
