Chili peppers are vibrant fruits from the Capsicum genus, native to the Americas but now a staple in cuisines worldwide, from Mexican and Indian to Thai. They are rich in vitamins A, C, and E, as well as minerals like potassium and antioxidants that support immune health and combat inflammation. Chili peppers owe their heat to capsaicin, a compound that not only provides their signature spice but also promotes metabolism and may aid in pain relief. Low in calories and carbohydrates, they are a healthy addition to most diets when eaten in moderation. However, excessive consumption can irritate the stomach or digestive tract in sensitive individuals. Whether used fresh, dried, or powdered, chili peppers add bold flavor while offering notable health benefits.
