Whether you are making a salad, fried ofada rice or a chicken pepper soup, green chillies add that exotic touch not found in other spices. Being rich in dietary fibre, green chillies are usually preferred red chillies due to differences in their effect on the digestive system. Green chillies are also richer in beta carotenes, antioxidants and endorphins.

Being rich in vitamin A, green chillies also help in improving vision among people of all ages. Green chillies are enriched with minerals, including potassium, manganese, iron and magnesium. These are important components that help control heart rate and blood pressure.

Make sure to store the green chillies at a dark cool area because chillies lose their Vitamin C, when they are exposed to heat, light and air.

If you are trying to lose weight, adding green chilli to your diet can help your body burn the excess fat. This happens because when you're eating anything spicy, it speeds up your metabolism for around 3 hours after the consumption
