Chillies work a great deal to spice up our meals. It is impossible to imagine most Indian cuisine without red chillies. Whether in the powder form or as a whole spice, the entire country uses it in some form or the other. Loaded with essential minerals, Red chilli powder’s key component capsaicin can also help reduce triglycerides, cholesterol and platelet aggregation. It may also help the body dissolve fibrin, which helps prevent the formation of blood clots. This can eventually contribute towards overall better heart health.
