About Hot chilli

Hot chili peppers are fiery fruits widely used in cuisines around the world, particularly in Mexican, Indian, Thai, and Korean dishes. Rich in flavor and heat, their spiciness comes from capsaicin, a compound known for boosting metabolism and potentially aiding in weight loss. Chilis are low in calories, fat-free, and packed with nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, and antioxidants. These nutrients support immune health, eye health, and heart function. Chili peppers also have anti-inflammatory properties and may improve digestion. However, their intense spiciness can irritate sensitive digestion systems or exacerbate issues like acid reflux if consumed in excess. Available in varieties like jalapeño, habanero, or cayenne, hot chilis can elevate the complexity of a dish while contributing several health benefits. Moderation is key, as overindulgence could lead to discomfort or excessive heat for those unaccustomed to their spicy kick.
