What it is
Chilies are the fruit of plants from the genus Capsicum. They are native to the Americas but are now grown worldwide. Organic chilies are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, following organic farming standards.
Why it's used
Chilies are primarily used to add heat and flavor to foods. They can be used fresh, dried, or ground into powders. They are found in a wide variety of dishes, including sauces, soups, stews, and spice blends.
Health notes
Chilies are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. Capsaicin, the compound that gives chilies their heat, has been studied for various health effects. Some research suggests potential benefits related to metabolism and pain relief, but evidence is mixed and more research is needed. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated capsaicin and related compounds.
Allergen info
Chilies are not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
