    Hot Peppers

    Most people are familiar with bell peppers, which are the green, red, or yellowish-orange fruits often used in salads or as a garnish. However, there is another type of pepper that is far less popular but just as tasty - the hot pepper. As the name suggests, hot peppers are characterized by their spicy flavor and fiery heat. They can be used in a variety of dishes, from salsa to stir-fries, and can add a welcome burst of flavor to any meal.

    Hot peppers belong to the capsicum family, which includes both sweet and hot varieties. The heat of a pepper is measured on the Scoville scale, with bell peppers at the bottom and habaneros at the top. Some of the most popular hot peppers include jalapeños, serranos, and Cayenne peppers. If you're looking to add some spice to your life, try cooking with hot peppers the next time you're in the kitchen.
