Health Benefits of Kolhapuri Kashmiri Chilli Powder
- Rich in Antioxidants
Kashmiri chillies are loaded with vitamin C and beta-carotene (provitamin A), which neutralize free radicals, supporting cellular health and potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases. - Boosts Metabolism
Capsaicin, though present in milder amounts than in hotter chillies, still promotes thermogenesis, helping to increase metabolism and aid in calorie burning. - Supports Eye Health
The high vitamin A content from beta-carotene contributes to maintaining good vision and may help prevent age-related eye conditions. - Improves Circulation
The mild heat from the chillies can stimulate blood flow, supporting cardiovascular health and reducing the likelihood of blood clots. - Aids Digestion
In moderation, Kashmiri chilli powder can enhance saliva and gastric juice production, improving digestion and potentially preventing bloating. - Milder on the Stomach
Compared to spicier Kolhapuri chillies, Kashmiri chillies offer flavor and health benefits with less risk of digestive irritation, making it suitable for those sensitive to intense heat.
