Bishop's Crown Chilli Pepper
The Bishop's Crown Chilli Pepper, sometimes also called Christmas Bells is a Capsicum baccatum variety from Barbados. The Bishop's Crown Chilli Pepper plant is large and bears uniquely shaped three-sided hot peppers which resembles a Bishop’s miter. It rates 5 000 to 30 000 Scoville heat units. Capsicum is a genus of flowering plants in the nightshade family, Solanaceae. Its species are native to the Americas, where they have been cultivated for thousands of years by the people of the tropical Americas, and are now cultivated worldwide. Some of the members of Capsicum are used as spices, vegetables, and medicines. The fruit of Capsicum plants have a variety of names depending on place and type. They are most commonly called chilli peppers.
The amount of capsaicin in Capsicums is highly variable and dependent on genetics and environment, giving almost all types of Capsicums varied amounts of perceived heat. The only Capsicum without capsaicin is the bell pepper, a cultivar of Capsicum annuum, which has a zero rating on the Scoville scale. The lack of capsaicin in bell peppers is due to a recessive gene that eliminates capsaicin and, consequently, the "hot" taste usually associated with the rest of the Capsicum family.
