Chili 16 gr Due Palmenti
The plant is similar to the sweet pepper, but unlike the latter, it produces particularly spicy fruits due to the presence of an active ingredient called capsicin.
The stem is erect and the leaves are lanceolate to ovals equipped with stalks.
Use in the kitchen:
Spicy aroma par excellence, widely used to flavor first courses (spaghetti with garlic, oil and chilli pepper, pasta all'arrabbiata), but also meat and fish, cured meats and cheeses, sauces, soups, legumes and much more.
Medicinal properties:
Contains high quantities of vitamin C, B1, B2, PP, provitamin A and capsaicin, the substance responsible for spiciness. It has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and helps digestion by increasing the secretion of gastric juices. Effective in the treatment of colds, sinusitis and bronchitis.
