Chili Peppers

Chili peppers bring heat, flavor, and vibrant color to dishes around the world. Their spiciness comes from capsaicin, with heat levels ranging from mild varieties like Anaheim and poblano to fiery habaneros and ghost peppers. Beyond their heat, chilies offer fruity, smoky, earthy, or citrusy flavors depending on the variety. Rich in vitamins A and C and antioxidants, chili peppers are as nutritious as they are flavorful.

Cooking Guide

Heat is measured using the Scoville Scale, but the best chili pepper isn't always the hottest one. Every variety brings its own unique flavor profile, from the mild, earthy richness of poblanos to the bright heat of jalapeños and the fruity intensity of habaneros. Choose peppers based on both their flavor and their spice level to create a well-balanced dish.
