Green Chilli

Green chilli is a staple of much of Indian cuisine. It’s popular around the world, especially in regions with hot climates. This is probably because chilies tend to grow in hot and tropical climates. Eating green chilies on hot days can induce sweating which is your body’s way of cooling itself down. They make an effective garnish and compliment many meals. If you’re a sucker for heat, try adding some chopped green chili to your favorite curry! This recipe stores well. You can store it in a casserole and eat later, and it will still taste as delicious as freshly prepared.

Health Benefits

Green chilies are a major source of capsaicin, a compound found in most naturally spicy foods. Capsaicin offers a wealth of vitamins and health benefits, that make the loving agony of eating hot peppers worth it.  A few other beneficial components in chilisare flavonoids, alkaloids, and tannins. They work as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic agents and help prevent cancer, boost immunity, regulate diabetes, improve skin health, and have anti-aging properties.
