Chili peppers contain a compound called capsaicin, which is responsible for their spicy sensation. The level of spiciness can vary greatly among different chili pepper varieties, ranging from mild to extremely hot.
In addition to adding heat to dishes, chili peppers also offer several health benefits. Capsaicin has been studied for its potential to boost metabolism, reduce pain and inflammation, and provide antioxidant properties. Chili peppers are also a good source of vitamins A and C, as well as minerals like potassium.
