LOS CHILES MEXICANOS 2.
EL Chile no es sólo un condimento extraordinario, quizá el más versátil de cuantos existen; es, también, un alimento de gran valor nutritivo.

Es rico en vitaminas: el vegetal con mayor concentración de ácido ascórbico que se conoce (el descubrimiento de esta sustancia en la pulpa del chile le valió al doctor húngaro Albert Szent-Gyürgyi el otorgamiento del Premio Nobel de fisiología y medicina en 1937).

Los chiles frescos contienen más del doble de vitamina C que el limón y la naranja y casi seis veces más que la toronja; los secos, por su parte, contienen vitamina A en una proporción mayor que, las zanahorias, por ejemplo. Los chiles poseen además cantidades significativas, aunque menores, de vitaminas E, P y B, y de algunos minerales.
Si bien su consumo excesivo puede provocar diversas molestias, como gastritis o úlceras, comer chile resulta esencial para una dieta balanceada. Y entre los mexicanos todavía más: se ha comprobado que el chile induce una alta digestibilidad de las proteínas del maíz y del frijol, de modo que, como dice José lturriaga, 
“el chile no es para los mexicanos solamente un complemento alimenticio, sino un multiplicador nutricional”.

La interdependencia que se ha conservado en la típica tríada alimenticia mexicana: maíz, frijol y chile, integra un complejo de componentes altamente alimenticios que se equilibran y refuerzan entre sí. Un taco de frijoles con salsa no es solamente sabroso sino nutritivo.

Adicionalmente sus usos industriales son cada vez mayores. El chile rojo en polvo, rico en capsantina (ingrediente que determina la cantidad de pigmento en un chile), se emplea en la avicultura como alimento para las gallinas, con objeto de obtener una intensa coloración amarilla, muy apreciada, tanto en las yemas de los huevos como en la piel de los pollos.
