Green Chilli Pepper

Green chilli pepper is the unripe form of various chilli varieties, with a characteristically fresh, herbaceous flavor and notable heat. In the kitchen, it is used fresh, dried, or pickled, added to sauces, salsas, soups, marinades, and a wide range of Asian, Mexican, and Mediterranean dishes. The capsaicin content determines the heat level, which varies greatly between varieties. It is rich in vitamins C and B6, beta-carotene, and antioxidants. When handling it, caution is advised as the juice can irritate skin and mucous membranes.
