Chiles are vibrant and flavorful fruits of the Capsicum plant, widely used in cuisines worldwide, particularly in Latin American, Asian, and Indian dishes. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and heat levels, ranging from sweet and mild to intensely spicy. Chiles are rich in vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and capsaicin—the compound responsible for their signature heat. Capsaicin has been studied for its potential anti-inflammatory and metabolism-boosting effects. Chiles also contain potassium and dietary fiber, contributing to heart health and digestion. On the downside, excessive consumption can irritate sensitive stomachs or trigger heartburn in some individuals. Available fresh, dried, or ground into spices like chili powder, they are versatile in enhancing flavor and nutrition. Whether enjoyed raw, roasted, or cooked, chiles add a healthy kick and depth of flavor to countless dishes.
