Nutritional Value: Green chilies, despite their fiery heat, offer various health benefits. They are low in calories but contain high levels of vitamins A and C, providing antioxidants that support immune function and promote healthy skin. Green chilies also contain capsaicin, the compound responsible for their spiciness, associated with potential health benefits like pain relief, improved metabolism, and heart health. Additionally, they contain small amounts of minerals like potassium and iron. Incorporating green chilies into dishes can add flavor and provide potential health advantages due to their nutritional content and capsaicin levels.
