Chile peppers are fruits the same way apples and oranges are, so peppers can range in flavor from sweet and juicy to smoky and dry. The heat levels can be as mild as a red bell pepper or as hot as the surface of the sun (an experience for only the brave). A bit of heat can awaken the taste buds and make food taste more intense, but eating hot foods can also boost the metabolism and control the appetite. Find your new favorite peppers below!
