Related to Bell Pepper
Pepper (Ground Pepper)
British and American recipes call this a pepper and use the same word for the ground black spice, which is where the doubt creeps in. Australia and New Zealand say capsicum and keep pepper for the spice alone. Check the quantity if a recipe lists both. See our Pepper (Ground Pepper) converter.
Tomato
Building a salad or salsa? The tomato converter works out whole-item counts and chopped cups across small, medium, and large sizes. See our Tomato converter.
Cucumber
Need cucumber too? The cucumber converter handles whole-item counts and chopped cups across small, medium, and large sizes. See our Cucumber converter.
Paprika
Paprika comes from peppers that have been dried and ground to a powder. These peppers are usually dedicated paprika peppers rather than the bell peppers that are grown to eat fresh or cooked. Use its converter when a recipe measures the dried spice by the spoon rather than fresh capsicum by the cup. See our Paprika converter.
