| If
you are from Texas, New Mexico or Southern
California, using peppers to season and flavor
foods may not be new to you. If you have never
worked with hot peppers before, do not think
that it is too hot and spicy for you. |

The
variety of chile peppers available is quite remarkable.
They vary in size, color, and flavor and the level
of heat as measured in Scoville heat units. The
higher the number of Scoville heat units, the hotter
the pepper. Here are the some of the more popular
varieties. Chiles may be called different names
depending on the grower, retailer, and where they
are grown. When handling hot peppers, wear rubber
gloves because the oil will burn your skin. And
never work with peppers and put your fingers near
your eyes.

| Peppers
are avail-able from mild and sweet to fiery
hot and spicy. Like with spices, you have
to know how much to add. Just remember that
what one person may call mild could be much
too hot for another person's taste. |
