Chili pepper, crushed, 50 grams

Chili pepper is very beneficial for our health. In terms of vitamin C content, it surpasses lemon by 2 times, which indicates its powerful antioxidant effect. Chili pepper contributes to the production of the “hormone of happiness” - endorphins. The brain of a person who has just eaten chili receives a signal that the body is in danger and releases endorphins into the blood to reduce shock and stress. And since there is no danger, one continuous pleasure results. And that is why lovers of spicy food cannot imagine their life without hot chili.

It goes well with basil, garlic, savory and coriander.

Chili owes its spiciness to the alkaloid capsaicin - it is he who gives pepper this feeling of “fire” in the mouth. Pepper perfectly stimulates blood circulation, which serves as a prevention of cardiovascular diseases.

For those who like things "hotter", you will really like the raw dried sausage with pepper. It will turn out spicy and with a burning taste.

You can add chili to any of your dishes where you would like to feel spicy notes! Adjust the amount of seasoning added and your dishes will have a light, barely noticeable spiciness, or a fiery, burning taste. Everyone likes it differently!

Warning. When you decide to cook something spicy and work with chili - be careful! Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth with your hands - this can cause burns.
