The Hot Habanero Chile Pepper

A chile’s heat is produced in the placenta - the sack under the stem - and carried in the seeds and veins of the chile pepper.

If you want to lower the heat and up the flavor, then simply remove the seeds and veins. Additionally, adding fruit will help lower the thermostat.

Or, if you want to crank up the heat, then chop the seeds to release more of the capsaicin.

When preparing dishes with chile peppers, some cooks protect their hands with gloves when handling the chiles.

There are countless varieties of Latin American Chiles. Capsaicin is the compound in chiles and hot peppers that make them hot. Chile heat is measured in Scoville units, which is the amount of water and time it takes to neutralize chile heat after ingestion.

Since many don’t agree on the measurements for each chile, we will use a rating from 1 to 10 from now on, with 10 being the hottest.

Dried chilies, pickled chiles, chile hot sauces, and even fresh chiles can be ordered online. Or consider growing your own. Chile seeds may be available at garden shops and are available online.
