Dried peppers, whether you call them dried chili peppers, dried chiles, chillies, or dried peppers, are the stuff of magic. Dried chile peppers provide a cornucopia of flavor profiles, from earthy, floral, fruity, and hot, to smoky and sweet. Professional and home chefs rely on a combination of the vast array of flavors with the heat range that chile peppers deliver. Sweeter, milder chiles often carry deeper flavors in their profile, while hotter peppers tend to have flavors that are delicate and floral. That is not written in stone, though, as peppers are bewitching things that readily borrow traits from their neighbors as they grow. The heat of all chiles is found in the seeds and the white membranous fibers that line their insides, which can be removed to lower the overall heat of any given pepper. It won’t eliminate the heat entirely, though—a habanero will still be hot, no matter how thoroughly you de-seed it—so make sure that a chile pepper has the level of heat you’re interested in working with when making your selections.
Chiles are the ultimate world travelers, and display an incredible willingness to adapt to new environments as they acclimate to them. There are more than 3,000 known varieties of chiles in the world today, and they all evolved out a common ancestor that originated in South America’s Andes Mountain roughly 10,000 years ago. Progenitor peppers were carried up through the Amazon and the Orinoco Rivers, out to the Antilles and through the Caribbean. They were picked up there and taken back to Europe, transplanted to India, brought back to the Americas, and made their way back down to Mexico. Along the way they have been incorporated into the cuisines of the cultures they encountered and have been shaped by human intervention and environmental impact. Today their popularity is global, and they can be found in foods from the United States to Australia and all points in between.
