Chilli Peppers
Chilli peppers are primarily the fruit of exotic species of shrubby peppers, growing in the tropics and subtropics of India, China, Japan, Vietnam, Africa, South and Central America, especially Mexico. They are also widely used in the Balkans.
These are small, lighter-coloured peppers with a strong aroma. These hot peppers are typically sharp varieties of perennial spice peppers. They owe their fiery taste to the substance capsaicin.
Among other substances, they contain vitamins C and carotene B. They stimulate appetite, but in larger quantities, they irritate the reproductive and urinary systems. In moderate doses, they have a better effect on the stomach than black pepper. It has a beneficial effect on digestion. It is proven that cultures accustomed to spicy foods with this spice can more easily tolerate food contamination and their surroundings by various bacteria, especially those causing diarrhoea. Chilli causes changes in the intestinal lining, which then tolerates a lot. Chilli is also considered an aphrodisiac.
