You already know that peppers add great taste to your favorite dishes. You might not know what superior healing agents organic peppers can be and how much they can promote your health. I'd like to tell you just how much delicious organic hot peppers can do for you.
Plant compounds called capsaicinoids create the heat in peppers when it touches your mucous membranes.
Different peppers produce a slightly different burn, from mild to very hot. The hottest peppers of the genus capsaicin, such as cayenne and jalapeño peppers, produce a sensation of fire in your mouth.
When that fire hits, your mouth sends a signal to your brain which releases natural pain relievers and endorphins. It's good to go for the burn, but do so in moderation.
Cayenne is a very popular hot pepper. Its long pod and biting seeds boost fiery flavor and support your immune system too. Specifically, vitamin A, or beta-carotene, in cayenne and other organic peppers protects your digestive system and wards off infections.
Fresh or lightly cooked red peppers such as cayenne also contain vitamins E, C, and B complex vitamins.

One of the hottest peppers, the small, red-hot habanero, provides exceptional health benefits, too. The oils in these peppers put fiery heat and flavor into Tex-Mex dishes while doing some amazing things for your overall health.

Very mild and sweet organic peppers have plenty of health benefits, too. Dark green poblanos and red, green, and yellow bell peppers offer the benefits of high fiber, and they're low in fat, calories, and sodium.
These peppers are great replacements for salt in your diet, and they offer the bonus of boosting your metabolism to burn fat.
Note: Eating hot peppers in excess may irritate your intestinal tract, from top to bottom, so practice restraint. Also, handle the hotter peppers carefully because the heat can transfer from your fingers to your nose and eyes, causing discomfort.
