Chili pepper is a collective name on species within the genus Capsicum. This genus includes paprika, bell pepper, habanero and tabasco. Chili fruits are used in cooking all or in parts, fresh, dried or smoked. The strength of chili fruits is measured in so-called scoville devices, indicating the amount of capsaicin, the chemical substance that constitutes the strength. A mild chilis resort can be between 100-500 scoville, medium varieties between 1000-5000 scoville and really hot up to 570,000 scoville. Chili pepper = about 1000 scoville. Chili peppers are heated in marinades, barbecue sauces, rice and pasta dishes, fried potatoes and meat pots such as Chili Con Carne.
