So, what is chiles?

Chiles are a type of pepper that come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and levels of heat. They are often used in Mexican, Indian, and Thai cuisines to add spice and depth of flavor to dishes. Chiles contain a compound called capsaicin, which is responsible for their heat and can provide health benefits such as pain relief and improved metabolism. Some popular types of chiles include jalapeño, habanero, serrano, and ancho. When preparing chiles, it's important to wear gloves and handle them carefully to avoid irritation or burns.
