about the Mexican kitchen without pronouncing the
name of the ingredient that, by much, is its
characteristic of it: CHILI PEPPER.
Chili is original of America belongs to the family
of the Solanáceas, gender Capsicum; also, "pepper of
the Indians" is recognized like "Chile" .
In Mexico, its culture has greater importance than
in any other country of America. And although Chili
is cultivated in all the Mexican territory, the main
