Although for many years it has been considered as an excellent condiment or base of many typical Mexican dishes, its nutritional properties go beyond the kitchen:

Scientific studies have shown that chili contains large amounts of potassium, iron, magnesium and sodium; Is rich in vitamins A, C, has small amounts of vitamins E, P, B1 (thiamine), B2 (rivoflavina) and B3 (niacin) and capsaicin, to which we owe its ardent flavor.
A recent study by the University of Nottingham revealed that capsaicin is effective as an anticancer treatment because its molecules adhere to the proteins of the cancer cell causing its death but without damaging healthy cells.
In fact, research carried out by South Korean scientists, performed on laboratory rats, showed that regular consumption of capsaicin helps the body not accumulate as much fat.
