The name is perhaps derived from the Latin capsa, or box for the pod like fruit. They are also frequently used both chopped and raw in salads, or cooked in stir fries or other mixed dishes. They can be sliced into strips and fried, roasted whole or in pieces, or chopped and incorporated into salsas or other sauces. Capsicum is a relative of the tomato and requires similar growing conditions.
