In Taiwan, the use of capsicum, particularly in rituals, is primarily associated with Taoist practices and traditional ceremonies. One notable ritual where capsicum plays a significant role is the "Ghost Festival," also known as the Hungry Ghost Festival. During this event, it's customary to offer food to appease the spirits of ancestors and wandering ghosts. Capsicum is often included in these offerings, believed to ward off evil spirits due to its pungent and spicy nature. Additionally, capsicum may be utilized in rituals aimed at blessing or protection, where it symbolizes purification and cleansing. Its fiery properties are thought to drive away negative energies and ensure the safety and well-being of participants. Overall, capsicum holds a symbolic significance in Taiwanese rituals, representing protection, purification, and spiritual strength.
You can use bell peppers, chili powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper as substitutes for capsicum in recipes.
