Indian cuisine is known to contain a generous amount of spice. Chillies play an important role to spice up our meals. Loaded with essential minerals and vitamins, chillies are a must-have addition in our day-to-day diet. There are two kinds of chillies available in our households: Green and Red.
Green Vs Red
Red chillies are nothing but aged green chillies, which turned red. They lose most of their water content and what is worse, a major chunk of nutrients as well. Also, Red chillies are usually consumed in powdered form which may pose dangers of adulteration of the final product. In addition to that, there is always a possibility added synthetic color to the chillies. Green chillies have higher water content and have zero calories. It is perfect for those who are watching their weight but can't do without their daily dose of spice. If consumed in excess, excess red chillies may cause internal inflammation, leading to peptic ulcer or even stomach cancer.
