Hoho (Capsicum)

Yellow  and red hoho available 

Commonly known as pilipili hoho in Kenya, capsicum is a favorite spice for most Kenyan meals. Other people will refer to it as bell pepper, sweet pepper or just pepper.

Main capsicum grown in Kenya are characterized by a green color. Some green capsicums change to secondary colors such as yellow, red and orange. 
Something that most people don’t know is that the sweetness of capsicums is due to their natural sugars (green capsicums have less sugar than red capsicums). Nevertheless, they can be eaten raw or cooked depending on one’s taste and preference.
