About Hot chili peppers
Hot chili peppers are pungent fruits of pepper plants used fresh or dried as a vegetable, seasoning, or ingredient. They vary widely in size, shape, colour, fleshiness, and heat; the name does not specify a particular variety.
They may be sold whole, sliced, crushed, or dried, and can be used raw or cooked. Fresh peppers are generally crisp or fleshy, while dried ones are leathery or brittle and more concentrated in flavour; heat and aroma depend on variety and handling.
