Hot though they be there is no household atleast in India that does not use them in their cuisine I use them too but just enough not to burn my tongue. There are some who eat them raw and feel nothing. Did you know chillies are rich in Vitamin c? Image credit:

I imagined anything hot would be mostly red in color.

I use them too red/green chillies or the finger chillies for cooking but just like you I don't want anything too hot, just the right kind of spicy kick.

When they are cooked the spiciness gets reduced but I also use raw ones in salads.

@allknowing Yes, sometimes. Not as often as we used to because the girls object to spicy foods.

I will use a jalapeno or poblano pepper in some of our dishes, but nothing super-hot. I am not a fan of super hot food. I don't mind a little warmth though.

Compared to years gone by I think you guys tolerate more spicy foods.

I too take green chillies in moderation and do not use red chilly powder at all.

@allknowing Doesn't it affect your gut. My stomach pains if I take red chilly powder.

I was going to comment about them being healthy and filled with vitamin C. I like just a little bit of their flavor in various dishes.

When mixed with other stuff one can easily consume chillies.

Here green chillies are very common. They are green but it doesn't mean they are ripe. If they are small and green, usually it is a very spicy chilly.

They turn red when they are ripe. We use dry red chillies in our cuisine more than we use green chillies.
