Chilli peppers (of all colours) are widely used in many cuisines as a spice to add pungent 'heat' to dishes.
The chilli pepper (also chile, chile pepper, chili pepper, or chili) is the berry-fruit of plants from the genus Capsicum which are members of the nightshade family, Solanaceae. Chilli peppers are widely used in many cuisines as a spice to add pungent 'heat' to dishes. Capsaicin and related compounds known as capsaicinoids are the substances giving chilli peppers their intensity when ingested or applied topically.
