About Hot chili pepper

Hot chili peppers are vibrant, flavorful fruits commonly used to add heat and color to dishes worldwide. Believed to have originated in Central and South America, they are a staple in cuisines such as Mexican, Indian, Thai, and Korean cooking. Chili peppers are rich in vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants, which support immune health and combat oxidative stress. The active compound, capsaicin, is responsible for their signature heat and has been linked to potential benefits like promoting metabolism and reducing inflammation. Low in calories and fat, chili peppers are a heart-friendly choice, but their fiery spice isn't for everyone; excessive consumption may irritate the stomach or digestive tract. Whether dried, fresh, or powdered, these peppers bring bold flavor and healthful attributes to any meal. Moderation is key to enjoying their benefits without discomfort.
