I must say that for residents of Asian countries or the Caucasus, such recommendations are not very relevant. Their body is so used to hot seasonings that it does not react negatively to spices even in a weakened state.

How to apply, so as not to harm?

The easiest way to make red pepper harmless is to set its daily rate. As such, it is customary to take no more than 5 g per day.

Peppers are not as simple as they seem! For example - . This spice is constantly on our table, and we no longer notice it. Meanwhile, it has its own story.

The history of red pepper

Made from bitter hot pepper, red pepper can be very different. Because there are a lot of varieties of this very hot pepper: it may not be a very sharp fruit, but it may be so burning that irritation instantly appears on the skin from a single touch.

The homeland of red hot pepper is considered the tropic zone of America. In Peruvian burials, for example, this spice is present as a mandatory element of the burial ritual. This means that the Indians considered pepper a sacred plant and thought that in the next world you can’t do without it. It still grows in these tropical forests in the wild.

Be that as it may, in our life we \u200b\u200bare without ground red pepper   just do not dispense, seasoning them with various dishes. No meat dish without pepper can not be imagined! You can also recall pepper patch, which helps so well with colds and other diseases. Or toothpaste with added ground red pepperwhich helps to heal gums.

Red hot pepper came to Russia in the 16th century. And like any spice, it was valued very highly - only the most wealthy people could eat it. Now it is grown and exported by many countries with a hot climate: India, countries of East Asia, as well as Ukraine, Moldova, Uzbekistan. In Russia, red pepper is grown in the Krasnodar Territory and in the lower Volga region. Experts say that the best varieties of red pepper grow in Southeast Asia, Indochina and Vietnam, because it is in these places that the climate is suitable and there is a lot of sun in order to properly dry and process the pods into spice.

Red pepper is obtained from dried ripe fruits (pods) of the genus Capsicum. It belongs to the nightshade family and can be called by different names: red, cayenne, spicy, chili, pungent. The process of processing the pods into spice is very simple: the fruits are dried in the sun until the moisture is completely destroyed, when the fruits become completely wrinkled. Then they are ground into powder - the spice is ready. Everything that nature has planted in this plant comes to our table.

Breeders are breeding new varieties of red pepper, satisfying the needs of the food industry and simple housewives. So, for example, the well-known paprika is a spice from the softest varieties of red pepper, and chili from the most hot. Common to these seasonings is a peculiar taste that cannot be confused with any other. It is this taste that is appreciated by connoisseurs of spices.

Capsaicin alkaloid gives pungency and pungency to red pepper, it gets red due to carotene, and vitamins make it useful, and. Mineral substances, protein, sugar and essential oils are also present in small quantities in pepper - therefore, the pod of red pepper has a mild odor.

The benefits and harms of ground red pepper

The best pepper is the one that was ground together with the seeds, because it contains more nutrients than the fruit itself. This spice has a more intense taste, which persists during prolonged storage, as well as a more natural color. By the way, the real one should have an intense red or red-orange color.

The effect of red pepper on the human body is as follows: it helps to stimulate appetite, which leads to stimulation of the gastrointestinal tract, that is, better digestion of food. It also improves the functioning of the pancreas, prompting it to produce enzymes necessary for the work of the stomach.

Known beneficial ground red pepper for blood circulation. Ayurveda experts say that it warms up the blood, thereby helping to cleanse the vessels and increase their elasticity. Therefore, you can hear that pepper is good for the heart. Carotenoids contained in spices help improve vision.

Pepper is used externally for various joint diseases in the form of compresses and pepper plasters to get rid of cough and other bronchopulmonary diseases. It is used for rheumatism and arthritis as a warming agent.

For all this, it is contraindicated for people with pronounced diseases of the gastrointestinal tract or during exacerbations of these diseases. There are also cases of allergies to certain varieties of pepper or spices with its addition.
