Description
The pith and seeds of red chillies are the hottest parts, and they are hollow. Despite the enormous variety, many red chiles are milder than green ones. Scoville units are used to measure the heat of chillies and are related to capsaicin content.
Uses
The spice “Lal mirch,” also known as red chilli powder, is a staple of every family and has been there for years. Red chiles are dried, then broken down into a powder. In addition to giving the food a hot flavor and colour, red chilli powder has excellent health advantages.
Nutrition
Numerous vitamins, minerals, and proteins (amino acids) essential to human health can be found in abundance in red chillies. They also include vital phytochemicals that are important antioxidants, like alkaloids (capsaicin), flavonoids, and phenolic.
Cultivation
As a tropical and subtropical plant, the chilli needs both a warm and humid environment to thrive. The optimal range is between 20 and 25 °C. Chilli plant growth is significantly affected by temperatures above 370C. However, dry weather is best for fruit maturity.
