Pepper

A spicy spice known since ancient times for its food preservation properties, but also of great intensity in taste and beneficial effects on our body.

The chili pepper helps in digestion , because it promotes the secretion of gastric juices and, at the same time, has an anti-inflammatory action indicated for throat disorders such as cough and lowering of the voice.

It has excellent effects for the cardiovascular system since it acts on the circulation as a vasodilator, makes the capillaries elastic, and improves blood oxygenation - thanks to the unsaturated fatty acids in the pepper seed.

One thing that is perhaps not very well known is that chilli is one of the foods that contains the most vitamin C , which is essential in protecting the immune system from infections and colds. In addition, the peppers we bring to the table also have excellent amounts of vitamin E, responsible for its aphrodisiac "power".

Chilli at the table

Its presence in the dishes of many cultures around the world is due not only to the ancient knowledge of its beneficial characteristics, but also to the intense flavor and the burning aroma that chilli pepper reserves for other foods. Capsaicin is the chemical element that makes it spicy and is contained in the pepper plant , the Caspicum annuum present in the world with different varieties.
