Polinización abierta

Los chiles son variedades de frutos de las plantas del género Capsicum, que son miembros de la familia de las solanáceas, cultivadas por su picor. Los chiles se utilizan ampliamente en muchas cocinas como especia para agregar "picante" a los platos. La capsaicina y los compuestos relacionados, conocidos como capsaicinoides, son las sustancias que le dan a los chiles su intensidad cuando se ingieren o se aplican tópicamente. Los chiles exhiben una variedad de picores y sabores. Esta diversidad es la razón detrás de la disponibilidad de diferentes tipos de pimentón y chile en polvo, cada uno con su propio sabor y nivel de picante.
