Hot green peppers are vibrant, fiery additions to dishes worldwide, prominently featured in cuisines like Mexican, Indian, Thai, and Caribbean. These peppers, packed with capsaicin—the compound responsible for their heat—may help boost metabolism, reduce inflammation, and promote heart health. Rich in vitamins A and C, they support immunity and skin health, while their potassium content aids in maintaining healthy blood pressure. They are also low in calories and fat, making them a nutritious choice for flavoring meals without adding excess calories. However, their heat can irritate the gastrointestinal tract for sensitive individuals, and eating them in large amounts may lead to discomfort or irritation. Hot green peppers are most commonly eaten fresh, cooked, or dried, adding a spicy kick to sauces, salsas, and stir-fries. Whether you enjoy them mild or fiery, these peppers can enhance flavor and nutrition when eaten in moderation.
