What is "chili pepper"?
Chili pepper is a spice made from the dried fruits of plants belonging to the Capsicum genus. It is known for its fiery heat and vibrant color, ranging from red to orange to yellow, depending on the variety. Chili peppers are widely used in cooking to add heat and flavor to dishes, particularly in cuisines from regions such as Latin America, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. They can be used fresh, dried, or ground into powder, and are often added to soups, stews, sauces, marinades, and salsas. In addition to their culinary uses, chili peppers are also valued for their potential health benefits, including their ability to boost metabolism, reduce inflammation, and provide vitamin C.
