Are red chillies hot?

On the Scoville Scale, chili peppers rank at 100,000-350,000 SHUs, meaning they have the potential to be quite spicy. They contain capsaicin, a compound that creates that feeling of intense heat

What are the benefits of red chilli?

Red chilis include a substance called capsaicin that speeds up the body's metabolism, which directly burns calories. Red chilies are an abundant source of vitamin C, which supports the immune system and prevents chronic illnesses. They also contain potent antioxidants that aid in unblocking arteries and blood vessels

The essential oil is used in aromatherapy. It is believed to relieve high blood pressure and normalize sebum secretion for skin problems, and is considered to be an aphrodisiac. The oil from ylang-ylang is widely used in perfumery for oriental- or floral-themed perfumes (such as Chanel No. 5). Ylang-ylang blends well with most floral, fruit, and wood scents.

In Indonesia, ylang-ylang flowers are spread on the bed of newlywed couples. In the Philippines, its flowers, together with the flowers of the sampaguita, are strung into a necklace (lei) and worn by women and used to adorn religious images.

Ylang-ylang's essential oil makes up 29% of the Comoros' annual export (1998).[18]

Ylang-ylang is grown in Madagascar and exported globally for its essential oils.[19]

Ylang-ylang essential oil is one of the basic ingredients of macassar oil
