Chiles are a New World food (like corn and potatoes) that are now integral to cuisines all over the world. Hungarian paprika, Thai chili oil, Louisana pepper sauce, and Italian roasted peppers—they all have their origin in Latin America. Variety is the spice of life... and chiles provide it. They range in size from 12-inch banana peppers to the tiny fiery pea-sized pequin and provide the adventurous cook with a palette of flavor, heat, and color.
