Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Hot Chili Pepper (Cooked)

  • Metabolic Effect: Cooked hot chili pepper helps digestion thanks to the fiber and vitamins it contains. However, the cooking process may cause the loss of some vitamins.
  • Consumption Recommendation: It can be used as a garnish with meals or in sauces. Keeping the cooking time short reduces vitamin loss.
  • Things to Consider: The cooking process can reduce its spiciness, so it is important to pay attention to portion control. One serving of cooked hot pepper meets a portion of the daily fiber requirement.
  • Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories in one serving of cooked hot pepper, it will be enough to take a light-paced walk for about 3 minutes. This can be part of a healthy lifestyle.
