Green chili, also known as green chili pepper or green chili, is a type of pepper belonging to the Capsicum annuum species. It is harvested before it fully ripens, hence its characteristic green color. Green chilies are widely used in various cuisines around the world, particularly in South Asian, Mexican, and Thai cuisines, for their distinct flavor and heat. Appearance-wise, green chilies are typically long and slender, ranging from mild to moderately spicy in taste, depending on the variety. They have a slightly glossy, smooth skin and are usually firm to the touch. The inner flesh of green chilies contains numerous tiny seeds that contribute to their heat. In cooking, green chilies are used both fresh and dried. They are often chopped or sliced and added to dishes to impart their characteristic spicy flavor. Green chilies can be incorporated into sauces, salsas, curries, stir-fries, soups, stews, and salads, among other dishes. Additionally, they can be pickled or preserved for later use. Nutritionally, green chilies are low in calories and are a good source of vitamins A and C, as well as antioxidants. They also contain small amounts of minerals like potassium and iron.
