Fresh chili peppers are vibrant, spicy fruits widely used in cuisines around the world, particularly in Latin American, Asian, and Indian cooking. They come in a variety of types and heat levels, from the mild poblano to the fiery habanero. Chilies are rich in dietary fiber, vitamins A, C, and E, and contain antioxidants like capsaicin, which gives them their signature heat and is known to have anti-inflammatory properties. Capsaicin may also support metabolism and promote heart health. Fresh chilies add intense flavor to dishes without the need for extra salt or fats, making them a healthy choice when used in moderation. However, their heat can be an irritant to the stomach or digestive system in some individuals. Chilies should be handled carefully to avoid skin or eye irritation. Versatile and nutrient-packed, fresh chilies are both a flavorful and beneficial addition to a balanced diet.
