Chili Pepper
Good nutritional profile
Fresh hot chili peppers, green or red, values for the raw pods.
Hot chili peppers are small fresh pods, green or ripe red, used raw or cooked to add heat to salsas, curries, stir-fries and sauces. A 15 g pepper has about 6 kcal and about 29 mg of vitamin C, roughly a third of the daily value. Their heat comes from capsaicin, which is concentrated in the white inner ribs that hold the seeds; removing ribs and seeds makes the pepper noticeably milder.
