Add a touch of spice to any meal!! Chilli peppers contain a substance called capsaicin, which gives peppers their characteristic pungency, producing mild to intense spice when eaten. Capsaicin is being studied as an effective treatment for sensory nerve fibre disorders, including pain associated with arthritis, psoriasis, and diabetic neuropathy. Other health benefits include cardiovascular health, immunity booster, clear congestion, weight loss.

We are inclined towards a fresh zucchini fritter or two, and may or may not be famous for our fresh lemon zucchini side dish. Zucchinis are a staple food that grow well in our region. A great source of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, potassium and phosphorus.

High in vitamin C, these little babies are are great addition to a salad or stir fry, or when sliced make the perfect ring for our morning fried egg. The red variety is also rich in beta carotene which the body converts to vitamin A. Vitamin A is important for healthy skin, boosts the immune system, and aids vision. Technically speaking, a capsicum is classified as a fruit – but as foodies, we like to group it together with other savoury delights, so here we are choosing to classify it as a vegetable – we hope you don’t mind 🙂
