Introduction: Dried chili peppers are chili peppers that have undergone natural drying and dehydration processes. They contain capsaicin, which stimulates the chili receptors on the tongue, causing a sensation of pain and burning, giving a fiery feeling in the mouth. Adding a moderate amount of dried chili peppers can make dishes more vibrant and stimulating, enhancing the taste experience. When heated, dried chili peppers release a unique aroma that adds richness to dishes. Incorporating dried chili peppers into dishes can add a distinct flavor and depth, making them more abundant and interesting. Dried chili peppers have a rich aroma and complex spicy flavor that can blend with other ingredients, adding layers of taste to dishes. With their hot and spicy nature, dried chili peppers in braised dishes can suppress unwanted odors, add fragrance, stimulate appetite, and promote digestion. Good-quality dried chili peppers should have intact shapes without being too crushed. The color should not be too dark, and caution should be exercised when using chili peppers that appear oily or overly shiny. The surface should be free from any blemishes caused by insects, as this can extend the storage time.
