Chili varieties differ in terms of heat level and aftertaste. We’ll give you a brief overview of three of the most popular varieties of chili peppers.

There are numerous well-known chili varieties that you can use for different dishes. Besides their fiery taste, chilies are also very healthy: they contain a lot of vitamin B1 and vitamin C. They also provide minerals such as potassium. In addition, they provide minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc.

Capsaicin is responsible for spiciness, which additionally stimulates blood circulation and digestion and is good for the immune system. The heat level of chilies is measured using the Scoville scale. One milligram of capsaicin per kilogram, for example, corresponds to 16.1 Scoville (SHU).

Chilies not only heat up your food, they also fire up the immune system. We reveal which benefits chilies have for your health and which chili pepper is the hottest in the world.

What’s in the chili?

Humans can distinguish five tastes, spiciness is not one of them. In fact, “tasty hotness” is about pain. Certain components of spicy “tasting” foods sometimes cause severe irritation of heat and pain receptors on our tongues. The fiery hot burning and stinging throbbing that chili peppers in particular cause in our mouths is a pure pain sensation. It is not surprising that not everyone likes spicy food. Especially with chili, opinions differ. The fiery pods have ruined many a meal and left painful memories. But we should actually eat spicy food much more often.

But what actually constitutes spiciness? And where is the limit of what is tolerable? Will you be able to test yourself with the hottest chili pepper in the world? Let’s take a closer look at the phenomenon of spiciness.

Hotness – what is it actually?

First of all, we must be clear that “hot” is not a flavor. The taste receptors on the tongue can distinguish five qualities. The classics sweet, sour, salty, and bitter need no further explanation, but “umami” is also virtually on everyone’s lips as a flavor. read more

A list of the hottest chili varieties in the world based on Scoville units. The chili bell pepper (short: chili) is the fruit of plants from the genus Capsicum, member of the nightshade family Solanaceae (which also includes the bell bell pepper). The substances that give chili peppers their pungency are capsaicin and related compounds known as capsaicinoids.

The seeds of the chili do not contain capsaicin. The highest concentration of chili is found in the placenta (the fleshy part of the fruit near the stem), with which the seeds are in direct contact, so they are often described as having a spicy taste as well. read more

Don’t know how long does chili burn on hands last and you need an answer: What to do?

Chilies contain capsaicin, and capsaicin stimulates nociceptors, sensory-sensitive receptors on fine nerve endings. In people with delicate, sensitive skin, these nociceptors are also very sensitive, which is why contact with capsaicin then causes unpleasant pain. However, this is not an inevitable fate, but you can do a few things to defuse the chili burn forever. 

Gloves protect skin from chili burning

The simplest solution is, of course, “put on gloves.” For people who are passionate about cooking, just not the best solution: these people want to feel, smell and taste their “raw materials” because it stimulates their creativity. But there are other remedies for burning chili hands. read more

Chili con carne is probably one of the most popular dishes in Tex-Mex cuisine. Its origin lies in the south of the United States of America and not, as many assume, in Mexico. Classic ingredients of a chili con carne are minced meat, kidney beans, onions, chili peppers strained, or chunky tomatoes. Corn is a component of many chili con carne recipes only in Germany and is otherwise rather atypical. Typically, a chili con carne simmers away for hours, so it’s always a bit of a shame to expend that kind of effort on a single serving. Therefore, chili con carne is also a typical dish that is sometimes cooked in stock. However, the question then arises as to how long Chili con Carne can be kept. read more
