BENEFITS:

• Digestion Support

Capsaicin has plenty of positive effects on the digestive system. It increases the fluids in the stomach while inhibiting acid and enzyme production and improving digestion.

Consuming capsaicin helps speed up the digestion process, enabling you to digest foods that would otherwise take a long time to complete the process.

• Weight Management

Spicy foods can increase your energy expenditure, which allows you to burn calories quicker.

• Cholesterol and Blood Pressure Regulation
• Capsaicin is also known to lower blood cholesterol levels while not affecting HDL cholesterol.
• It increases appetite by stimulating the gut.
• People used this chili to treat bruises and swelling.
• It also reduces risk of heart diseases and tuberculosis.

 

These peppers may be small in size but pack a punch in flavour; just a couple of chilis can liven up a dish with fiery heat, making them ideal for hot sauces, salsas, chili pastes, powders, and chili flakes. The Bird’s Eye Chili fruit may be served raw or cooked and is normally very hot when used as a flavoring. It may also be dried and ground into a powder for flavouring. Only the fruits of this plant should be ingested.
