chili pepper, is the dried, ripe fruit of a plant from the genus Capsicum, known for its pungent taste and use as a spice. These fruits are consumed in various stages, from green to dried and powdered forms, to add heat and flavor to dishes. The sensation of heat comes from capsaicin, a compound that activates pain receptors. Chillies belong to the nightshade family, which also includes tomatoes and eggplants.
