About Hot pepper

Hot peppers, native to Central and South America, are a vibrant and spicy addition to many cuisines worldwide, including Mexican, Thai, Indian, and Korean dishes. Their heat comes from capsaicin, a compound known for its metabolism-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties. Rich in vitamins A, C, and E, as well as potassium and antioxidants, hot peppers support immune health and promote healthy skin. They are low in calories and can aid in digestion by stimulating saliva and stomach juices. However, excessive consumption may cause stomach irritation or exacerbate conditions like acid reflux. Whether enjoyed fresh, dried, or as a powdered spice, hot peppers bring both flavor and health benefits to the table, making them a fiery and nutritious ingredient to incorporate into your meals.
