About Kanthari chilli
Kanthari chilli, also known as bird’s eye chilli, is a small but fiery pepper native to India, especially prominent in Kerala’s cuisine. Known for its intense heat and distinctive pungency, this chilli is packed with capsaicin, the compound responsible for its spice and numerous health benefits. Rich in vitamins A, C, E, and antioxidants, Kanthari chilli supports immunity, enhances eye health, and promotes collagen production. Its natural metabolism-boosting properties may aid in weight management. Additionally, the chilli contains antibacterial and anti-inflammatory compounds, making it a staple in traditional Indian remedies. However, its high spice level means it should be consumed in moderation, as excessive intake could irritate sensitive stomachs or the digestive tract. Cultivated organically in many regions, Kanthari chilli is treasured for its authentic flavor and health-boosting properties, contributing vibrant heat to chutneys, curries, and pickles in South India’s diverse culinary traditions.
