Chili peppers, which are also called chili and chile, are the spicy fruit of a variety of plants in the genus capsicum. They grow in warm climates around the world. Chilis are technically berries because they contain seeds. But they are used more like a vegetable or spice because they have a savoury, spicy flavour. Chili peppers originate from South and Central America and were first farmed in Mexico. They are a staple in the diets of many people in North and South America, Africa, Asia, the Pacific Islands, and parts of Europe.
There are thousands of varieties of chili peppers. They range in flavour from mild to very spicy. Some, like bell peppers, are sweeter, while others are more acidic, tart, hot, fruity, smoky, or bitter. They also come in many shapes, sizes, and colours, including green, red, yellow, brown, purple, white, black, and orange.
