What it is

Chile peppers are the fruit of plants from the genus Capsicum. They are native to the Americas and come in many varieties, differing in size, color, and heat level. "Organic" indicates they were grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

Why it's used

Chile peppers are primarily used to add flavor and heat to foods. They are found in a wide variety of dishes, including sauces, seasonings, marinades, and prepared meals. Their heat comes from compounds called capsaicinoids.

Health notes

Chile peppers are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. Capsaicin, the compound responsible for their heat, has been studied for potential effects on metabolism and pain perception, though evidence is mixed and more research is needed. JECFA has evaluated capsaicin. No specific upper intake levels have been set by regulatory bodies for typical dietary consumption.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Chile peppers are not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens.
