Chinese red peppers are native to and named after the Chinese province Tien-Tsin.

Chinese red peppers are great for making infused oils. Because of their high staining capabilities, they produce a beautiful deep red colored oil. With a bland vegetable oil or dark Chinese sesame oil, you will only need to use a drop or two of the finished product. You can also try these to spice up stir fries, but be sure to remove them before serving. You get about 30-40 in an ounce.

With hundreds of chiles, one can’t always judge a pepper by appearance; one has to learn their pungency only by painful trial and error!
