    The vast diversity in size, shape, color and spice level is what has allowed chiles to stand the test of time and why they're popularity is on the rise. They help add a ton of flavor with almost no calories and have some pretty great health benefits. With over 3,500 types of chiles in the world, there's a chile for everyone! Mike and Kristi get into this and so much more. Enjoy!
