Chilli peppers have long been a part of folklore around the world. They were used to deter
vampires and werewolves in Eastern Europe and thought to ward off the ‘evil eye’ by South and
Central Americans. In Northern Mexico, chillies are still used in potions meant to make an
enemy ill and as a cure for hangovers. A string of lemons and green chillies wards off bad luck
in India. Everywhere you go, the first rule of chillies seem to be: the hotter the better.

more vitamin c than an orange. This year university of Nottingham, UK researches published
findings that show Capsaicin may be able to kill cancerous tumours. Other studies suggest
that Capsaicin reduces cholesterol and pain associated with arthritis, diabetes, and muscle
and joint problems. It is also thought that chilli pepper can also prevent the formation of

congestion and reducing mucous. Indeed chilli pepper fanatics from around the world, known
