Red Pepper Spice

History:
The scientific name of red pepper is Capsicum annuum.

Red pepper is also known as hot pepper, red chili, or chili pepper. This product originated in the Americas. The pepper plant is a climbing plant with short roots.

Red pepper is used as a spice in cooking and as a remedy in traditional medicine. Its nature is hot and dry.

Ingredients:
Green and red hot peppers or chili peppers contain high amounts of fiber, copper, iron, potassium, manganese, and vitamins B, A, C, E, and K.

The main reason for the spicy taste of peppers is due to an antioxidant called capsaicin.

Health Benefits of Red Pepper:

• Fights inflammation.
• Reduces stomach ulcers.
• Rich in vitamin C.
• Boosts the immune system.
• Relieves migraines.
• Promotes red blood cell growth.
• Improves eye health.
• Enhances skin and hair health.

Storage Instructions:
Red pepper powder should not be stored in very hot environments (such as storage rooms) or exposed to direct sunlight. If stored properly, it can be used for 12 to 18 months without issues.

It is better to store spices away from moisture, as exposure to moisture reduces their aroma and flavor. Since most spices have a soil origin and may be contaminated with soil microbes, it is recommended to use sterilized versions in hygienic packaging.

Allergies:
An allergy to peppers occurs when the immune system mistakenly identifies peppers as harmful and triggers a defensive response. Antibodies called immunoglobulins are specifically produced in response to peppers. When the food is consumed in the future, the immune system quickly recognizes it and releases certain chemicals to combat it, leading to allergic reaction symptoms.

Symptoms of Pepper Allergy:
Symptoms of a pepper allergy usually appear within a few minutes to an hour after consuming peppers or foods containing them. These symptoms typically affect the skin, digestive system, and respiratory system. Skin-related symptoms may include itchy rashes or hives, which are also red. Digestive symptoms may include nausea and vomiting. Respiratory symptoms include shortness of breath, coughing, or significant changes in voice. A severe allergic reaction to peppers, accompanied by symptoms such as shortness of breath and dizziness, is called anaphylaxis and can be very dangerous.
