The photo shows ripe, red chili peppers (Capsicum annuum variety), which are commonly sold under the names “peperoni” or “cayenne.” These elongated peppers typically have a moderate to strong heat level. They are excellent for fresh salsas, hot sauces, stir-fry dishes, or for drying to make homemade chili powder. Red chili peppers are rich in vitamins A and C. The active ingredient capsaicin not only provides the heat but also boosts the metabolism. - 1990
