RED CHILLI

Red chili is a spicy and pungent spice that is derived from chili peppers. Chili peppers are a type of fruit that belong to the nightshade family, and they are commonly used in many cuisines around the world, particularly in Indian, Mexican, and Thai cuisine.

Red chili peppers are typically dried and ground into a powder, which can be used to add heat and flavor to a variety of dishes, including curries, stews, soups, and marinades. The heat of red chili peppers comes from a compound called capsaicin, which is also responsible for the spicy sensation in other types of peppers.

Red chili peppers are a good source of vitamins A and C, as well as potassium and dietary fiber. They also have antioxidant properties and have been associated with several health benefits, including reducing inflammation, boosting metabolism, and improving heart health.

When using red chili powder in cooking, it is important to use it sparingly and taste the dish as you go, as it can quickly overpower other flavors. Some people may also be sensitive to the heat of red chili peppers and may need to use less or avoid them altogether.
