Peppers

  • Mild to Spicy

    Peppers, also known as chili peppers are fruit of plants in the genus Capsicum. They range from the mild and popular bell peppers to the insanely hot Naga Jolokia peppers of India. Chili peppers originated in South and Central America and were brought over to Europe in the late 1400s.

    The heat or spicy hotness of peppers are measured in Scoville units, created by the American chemist Wilbur Scoville. Very mild peppers, like bell peppers, have a Scoville rating of 0-100, while the hottest peppers have a 100,000 to 1,000,000+ rating.

    Peppers are a mainstay of many cultural foods, including Mexican, various South American, Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, Indian, Ethiopian, and many more.
