Did you know?
- The word piment shares a root with the Spanish pimienta, but unlike English where 'pepper' can refer to a seasoning or a vegetable, French maintains a sharp distinction between the powder poivre and the pod piment.
- While mainland France distinguishes between piment and poivron, people in French-speaking Caribbean territories often use piment for every type of pepper regardless of how mild it is.
- While piments bananes are common in recipes, French speakers often group them under the broader category of piments doux, which translates to 'sweet peppers' despite them still having a mild kick.
