Chili is not only a source of spiciness in dishes, but also a treasure trove of vitamins (C, A, K) and minerals such as magnesium and potassium.
Thanks to its high capsaicin content, it helps to speed up metabolism and can have pain-relieving effects.
The spice is also known for its antioxidant properties, which can help reduce inflammation and even prevent certain types of cancer.
Despite its beneficial qualities, chili should be consumed with caution, especially by people with sensitive stomachs or those suffering from gastritis or ulcers.
The spiciness of chili, caused by the presence of capsaicin, can stimulate the production of gastric juice and intensify discomfort in these conditions.
