FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long do green chilies last in the fridge?
When stored properly in an airtight container with stems removed, they can last for 1 to 2 weeks.
Can you freeze green chilies?
Yes, you can freeze them whole, sliced, or as a paste. They maintain their heat well but may lose some crispness.
How can I tell if a green chili is very spicy?
Generally, smaller chilies are hotter than larger ones. Also, chilies with more internal seeds and membranes tend to be spicier.
What is a good substitute for green chili?
Depending on the heat required, you can use jalapeños, serrano peppers, or even a pinch of red chili flakes.
How do I stop the burning sensation on my hands after cutting chilies?
Rub your hands with vegetable oil or wash them with milk or yogurt, as fats help dissolve the capsaicin.
Are green chilies healthier than red chilies?
Green chilies generally have higher Vitamin C content, while red chilies (which are ripened green chilies) have more Vitamin A.
How should I select the best green chilies?
Look for chilies that are firm to the touch, have a bright green color, and smooth, unwrinkled skin.
Why are my green chilies turning red?
This is a natural ripening process. They are still perfectly safe to eat but will become slightly sweeter and often spicier.
