Both are crino kapsiku Green peppers are green chilis of a certain strain, the Bell, which has removed virtually all the capsaicin and left something with a Scoville in the lower single digits. So you distinguish them by the second place of {kapsiku} just as you distinguish jalapenos (Sc 35k) from habaneros (Sc100k). <Is it OK to call ginseng {remgenja}? I just saw a book about it at the library which gave the name in some Native American language, and it means about the same thing.> Ditto, mutatis mutandis. The nut-and-berry merchants like to distinguish Korean, Siberian and New York (etc.) ginseng and there may be minor specific variations. |
