So, what is red chillies?

Red chillies are a fiery and flavorful spice that adds a bold kick to any dish. These small, elongated peppers come in various shapes and sizes and are known for their vibrant red hue. They are a staple ingredient in cuisines worldwide, from the fiery curries of India to the spicy salsas of Mexico. The heat of red chillies comes from capsaicin, a chemical compound that stimulates the heat receptors in our mouths. Besides adding a spicy kick to dishes, red chillies also contain antioxidants and are believed to have various health benefits, including pain relief and improved metabolism.
