Heat Level (Wide Variation): The heat varies drastically, but general-purpose "red chilis" are often in the Medium to High range, such as Cayenne Pepper (30,000 to 50,000 SHU). They offer a present and immediate heat.
Clean and Spicy Flavor: The flavor is generally clean, spicy, and direct, with notes that can be slightly fruity or earthy. When dried and ground, the flavor becomes more pungent and sharp.
