Scatters with frequency
Peppers are fruits of plants in the capsicum family, ranging from sweet bell peppers to fiery hot varieties like jalapeños and habaneros.
The heat comes from capsaicin, measured in Scoville units.
Pepper also names an unrelated spice—black pepper—ground from dried berries.
To pepper something is to sprinkle it liberally or bombard it: The lawyer peppered the witness with questions.
