Chilli
Chilli is a spice that comes from the fruit of plants belonging to the Capsicum genus. These plants produce long, slender pods that contain the spicy compound capsaicin, giving chillies their characteristic heat. Chillies are widely used in cooking around the world to add flavour and a spicy kick to dishes.
Chilli is typically grown in warm climates and harvested when the pods are fully ripe. Once picked, the chillies are dried and ground into a fine powder or used fresh in cooking. The heat level of chillies can vary greatly depending on the variety, with some being milder while others are extremely hot.
Chilli appears on food labels as an ingredient to indicate spicy flavour. It is commonly found in spicy sauces, curries, salsas, and marinades. The presence of chilli in a dish can add depth and heat to the flavour profile, appealing to those who enjoy spicy foods. From fiery hot curries to zesty salsa dips, chilli is a versatile ingredient used in a wide range of cuisines.
