Red Hot!

these are original Red Hot Chillie peppers.

Chillies are a small, pungent, hot variety of capsicum (pepper) first cultivated in South and Central America over 5000 years ago.

 

The Health Benefits of Eating Chillies:

 

*Lowers Blood Sugar Levels

*Provides Pain Relief & Reduces Inflamation

*Acts as a Therapeutic & Relaxant

*Helps Clear Congestion

*Limits Spreading of Prostate Cancer

*Lowers Risk of Stomach Cancer

*Burn Fat: Capsaicin is also a thermogenic compound, and increases the metabolic rate, which aids in the fat burning process. Studies reveal that eating chillies can raise your metabolic rate by up to 23% for about 3 hours.

*Lastly, eating Chillies has recently been shown to lower cholesterol, and to reduce the amount of fibrin in the blood, and as a result, lower the blood's tendency to clot.

 

Now you know. :)
