El dato: CHILI

In quechua language they are called “misqui uchú”, “nupu uchú” or “pachirina”. They are “Capsicum annuum”, of the rest of the American chili family, but are different because, besides being fleshy, they are not spicy. All are green at first and when they ripe, turn to yellow, red, or even and original blue color.
