Chili Pepper

Chili Pepper is a long, thin green chili pepper commonly used in Korean and other Asian cuisines (often called Cheongyang or green gochu) to add fresh heat and bright flavor to stews, banchan and stir-fries. It is very low in energy at 40kcal per 100g and provides modest amounts of fiber and protein while being especially rich in vitamin C. Beyond being a low-calorie flavor booster, it also contains carotenoids with antioxidant properties and is generally considered a nutrient-dense, healthful ingredient to add color and spice to dishes.
