Chilli (also spelled chili or chile) is a pungent, flavorful spice obtained from the fruit of plants in the Capsicum genus, primarily Capsicum annuum. Originating from Central and South America, it has been used for centuries in cooking, medicine, and cultural traditions worldwide.
It is valued mainly for capsaicin, its key active compound, known for intense heat along with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, analgesic, and metabolism-boosting properties.
Commonly used in everyday dishes such as curries, stir-fries, sauces, chutneys, soups, and traditional remedies like spicy teas or topical applications — especially in Indian, Mexican, Thai, and other spicy cuisines.
