capsicums
Colorful crunchy vegetables
Capsicums are plants of the genus Capsicum, cultivated for their fruits—bell peppers, chili peppers, and related varieties.
The word is more common in British, Australian, and New Zealand English, where it typically refers to sweet bell peppers specifically: Slice the capsicum and add it to the stir-fry.
Americans usually say pepper or bell pepper instead.
