About Red chilli

Red chili, native to Central and South America, is a vibrant spice widely used in global cuisines such as Mexican, Indian, Thai, and Chinese. Known for its fiery heat, it owes its spiciness to capsaicin, a compound found in the chili’s flesh and seeds. Capsaicin is believed to boost metabolism and aid in pain relief, making red chili a functional addition to the diet. Packed with vitamins A and C, red chilies support immune health and promote collagen production for skin vitality. They also contain essential minerals like potassium and magnesium. While rich in antioxidants, excessive consumption can cause stomach irritation or exacerbate conditions like acid reflux. Its bold flavor and health benefits make red chili a versatile ingredient, but moderation is key to enjoying its culinary and nutritional advantages safely.
