Description

Mild green chilies are a variety of peppers known for their fresh and slightly sweet flavor, with a very low or non-existent level of spiciness, making them ideal for adding flavor without intensifying the heat in recipes. Their vibrant green color and crunchy texture add a special touch to sauces, stews, salads, and baked dishes.

These chilies originate from the Americas, where they have been cultivated and used in numerous traditional cuisines since pre-Columbian times. They are common in regions of Mexico and Central America and are an essential part of the local gastronomy, standing out for their versatility and flavor contribution.

In terms of their properties, mild green chilies are a good source of vitamin C, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, in addition to being low in calories, making them a healthy ingredient for various preparations.

In different Latin American countries, this type of chili is also known as sweet green ají, green bell pepper, or simply sweet chili, terms used to distinguish them from the spicier varieties common in the region.
