Time for a Taste of Something New - Penzeys Spices

chili peppers are capsicums, in the
same family as bell peppers and paprika
pods. They range in flavor from rich and
sweet, to fiery hot. A combination of
both sweet (ancho) and hot (dundicut,
chipotle, and jalapeño) chili peppers
are used in mexican cooking for fullflavored,
spicy chili and other dishes.
For chinese cooking, tien tsin peppers
are most common, and in Indian
cooking sanaam and dundicut peppers
are used, along with a variety of spices.
remember to combine the heat of chili
peppers with other spices, so the finished
dish will have a full-bodied flavor. since
chili peppers are dried vegetables, they
will keep best if stored in the refrigerator,
especially during the summer.
