Chillies Indian whole

Description

Culinary Notes :

India is the world’s biggest producer, consumer and exporter of chilli peppers. Guntur, in the South Indian state of Andhra Pradesh produces 30% of all the chillies produced in India. Andhra Pradesh as a whole contributes 75% of India’s chilli exports. Chillies are used not only for cooking but have a large range of uses. Medically, Capsaicin is considered a safe and effective topical analgesic agent in the management of arthritis pain, diabetic neuropathy, mastectomy pain, and headaches.  The flavour of dried Indian chillies is quite different to their fresh counterparts due to the caramelisation of sugars that occurs during the drying process, creating a more complex flavour. Our dried Indian Chillies Whole can be chopped up dried or soaked and re-hydrated.

• Add whole pods during cooking and remove before serving to infuse the flavour
• Add to curries, vegetable dishes, tomato sauce, soups, stews and stir-fries
• They can be blended in a grinder for dishes that require ground chillies

Health benefits:

All chillies contain capsaicin which is known to have many health benefits including boosting the immune system, eliminating inflammation and aiding in weight loss.
