Dear Steemians!
In this picture I would like to show you a medium-hot red pepper (Capsicum). This plant belongs to the nightshade family (Solanaceae). The origin of the pepper plant is central as well as South America, and there are some different varieties that have now been cultivated almost worldwide.
