Chili peppers have been an essential ingredient in Mexican cuisine since pre-Hispanic times. The adaptability of this seed, its ability to transform into different varieties and adapt to new environments, its varying degrees of spiciness, its medicinal properties, and the historical, cultural, and ritual significance that has developed around chili peppers are some of the themes explored in these pages. These perspectives are further enriched by proverbs, riddles, folk songs, stories, and texts from 16th-century missionaries and travelers, all of which contribute to the cultural significance of chili peppers in our country.
