After the sixteenth century the chili pepper became similarly popular in other continents and today the five species number many reference pod-types and over 3,000 varieties. The book describes their uses in the different spheres of cuisine (aromatic, spicy and colourful), medicine (antioxidant and digestive for internal use, rubefacient and anti-rheumatic for external use) and ornamentation (cut branches, floral compositions, border plants, splashes of colour). 606 $aBotany & plant sciences$2bicssc 615 7$aBotany & plant sciences 700 $aClauser$b Marina$4edt$0758238 702 $aGrigioni$b Andrea$4edt 702 $aLandi$b Mario$4edt 702 $aClauser$b Marina$4oth 702 $aGrigioni$b Andrea$4oth 702 $aLandi$b Mario$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910571745203321 996 $aPeperoncini$92941533 997 $aUNINA
