Chillies work a great deal to spice up our meals. Indian cuisine is known to contain a generous amount of spice, which not only make the food taste better but also provide many health benefits. Loaded with essential minerals and vitamins, chillies are a must-have addition in our day-to-day diet. Now, there are two kinds of chillies found commonly in our households – green chillies and red chillies (mostly in the powder form). Lately, a debate has sprung up on which chilli is better than the other. Divided opinions from every corner have left many confused who are unable to make a stern decision. Despite the ambiguity, people have started replacing red chilli powder with green chill, which is considered to be a more potent source of spice. As the common notion goes in the world of food – anything which is green is good for health. Studies have proved that green chillies promote health and overall well-being in ways more than one.
