Welcome to people new to my channel! Check out my other videos where I share my passion for chillies!
Don't forget to give the video a like 👍 if there was even one fact you didn't know!
A couple corrections:
1. Beta Carotene converts to vitamin A, not D. I misspoke.
2. With the fact about bell pepper colours. Trying to crunch down the time in the video, and I could have worded it a bit better! Green bell peppers are unripe...and you get Yellow and Red varieties of bell peppers. I still think the red bells taste best though 😉

“Please do a video on the health benefits of chilli's. Should be interesting.”
Agree.

[davidgoen]

My wife and I would love to see a video about the health benefits of chilies. Also it would be amazing if you could convince Doctor Mike or any other doctor to do a collaboration.

I am addicted to growing chili plants!! Drove past a house where they dumped all their kitchen stuff for the trash and found bags of dried chilis of various varieties. Of course was not about to eat them or use them in any way for ingesting, BUT the Made me so happy! Now I have a thriving garden!

I grew 20 hot pepper plants this year! Some are lighter green than others. They all are loaded with green fruit not ripe yet but most are super hots!!

An interesting video, thanks Chilli Chump. I live in New Zealand and grow my chillies each year, and they last for about a year too, be they frozen, dried, or pickled. I grow Jalapenos, Hungarian Hot Wax (very good pickled), Cayenne, and Chilli Fire for curries etc. I even smoked some Jelapenos last year and made a hot sauce. And boy was it hot! Because the smoking process had made them lose 50% moisture, the sauce was twice as strong. Anyway, thanks for the video, Sir.

I know a lot about chilli's but I still learned a lot more. I like things spicy but not so spicy its miserable. I like a bit of eyes watering and nose drip. I also enjoy the natural euphoria from eating spicy foods.

Love it, I love chills I eat them just like that. Love habanero, thai pepper, birds eye peppers, Hawaiian peppers

[skinnista]

I would also love to see a video about the health benefits. Thanks for the video

[mohzaher]

Your videos have been always informative and helpful

In my country eating Chiles is a part of our daily diet. The most favorite one is called Madame Jeanette, a very aromatic one and even people who don't like the burn use it (without breaking it) to spice their food with the aromatic flavour.
