About Chili peppers

Chili peppers are vibrant fruits from the Capsicum family, known for their bold flavor and fiery heat. Originating in the Americas, they are now staples in cuisines worldwide, such as Mexican, Indian, Thai, and Korean. Chili peppers are rich in vitamins A, C, and E, along with potassium and antioxidants, which support immune health and combat inflammation. They contain capsaicin, the compound responsible for their spiciness, which may help boost metabolism and promote heart health. Low in calories and fat, chili peppers are a nutrient-dense choice for enhancing dishes. However, their heat can irritate the stomach or digestive tract in some individuals, and overconsumption may lead to discomfort. Whether enjoyed fresh, dried, or powdered, chili peppers offer a flavorful and health-conscious addition to meals.
