Mention chili peppers and most people will have a strong and immediate response, positive or negative. While I will admit to being pretty far left on the mild-to-hot scale, I absolutely love the way a little bit of heat will intensify the flavor of my favorite foods. There are hundreds of pepper varieties, some sweet and others hot, and they all provide great health benefits - some even claim chili peppers will improve your completion when used in face creams!
