Chili Peppers, BULK Heirloom ‘Green Grisu’, Organic
Our new batch of Grisu Chillies has turned out beautifully. They are medium spicy and are a great addition to salads and cooked dishes alike. Apart from adding a bit of spice, Chili peppers contain an impressive list of plant derived chemical compounds that are known to have disease preventing and health promoting properties. Chilies contain a health benefiting alkaloid compound, capsaicin, which gives it its strong spicy pungent character. Studies suggest that capsaicin has anti-bacterial, anti-carcinogenic, analgesic and anti-diabetic properties. It is also found to reduce cholesterol levels in obese individuals. Fresh chili peppers, red and green, are a rich source of vitamin-C. They also contain good amounts of other antioxidants like vitamin A, and flavonoids like ß-carotene, α-carotene, lutein, zea-xanthin, and cryptoxanthin. Chilies contain minerals like potassium, manganese, iron, and magnesium. They are also good in B-complex group of vitamins such as niacin, pyridoxine (vitamin B-6), riboflavin and thiamin (vitamin B-1).
