Description
Raw red chili peppers are botanically classified as berries and belong to the nightshade family (Solanaceae). While they originated in Central and South America nearly 9,500 years ago, they are now grown worldwide, with India being the largest modern producer. The “heat” of a chili is measured on the Scoville scale, which ranges from 0 SHU for mild bell peppers to over 2 million SHU for “super-hot” varieties like the Carolina Reaper. This pungency serves as a natural defense mechanism for the plant against mammals, though humans have embraced it for its ability to add depth and excitement to food
