Chili peppers are considered to be any of the fruits of the Capsicum genus that contain capsaicin, the compound responsible for the peppers' characteristic heat. The heat level of chili peppers is measured on the Scoville scale, which quantifies the amount of capsaicin present. Varieties of chili peppers range from mild to extremely hot, offering a wide range of options for adding heat to dishes.
