This rich breeding history is reflected not only in different variety names, but also different names for the processed form of chilies, depending on pungency, origin or use: pepperoni, paprika, chili, chili pepper, pimiento, cayenne pepper, paprika powder, aleppo pepper (pul biber), isot, harissa, merkén, sambal oelek, tabasco - and many more. Unlike most spices from tropical countries, chile peppers can be grown even in Central Europe. In addition, chilies are very decorative houseplants.
