About Chilli pepper

Chili peppers are vibrant, flavorful fruits from the Capsicum genus, widely used in cuisines across the globe, especially in Mexican, Thai, Indian, and Korean dishes. These peppers come in various sizes, shapes, and heat levels, thanks to capsaicin, the compound responsible for their spiciness. Rich in vitamins A, C, and E, chili peppers offer powerful antioxidants that support immune health and skin vitality. They contain potassium and dietary fiber, aiding in heart health and digestion. Capsaicin has been linked to potential benefits like pain relief, improved metabolism, and reduced inflammation. However, excessive consumption can irritate the stomach or exacerbate acid reflux in sensitive individuals. Chili peppers are low in calories, making them a smart choice for flavor enhancement without adding heaviness to dishes. From mild to fiery-hot varieties, chili peppers pack a nutritional punch while adding color and heat to meals.
