Health Benefits

When it comes to eating hot peppers and hot pepper products, the trick is part of the treat. That’s because capsaicin, the active ingredient in hot peppers that makes them so spicy hot, is actually playing a trick on your mind and body. After all, the pepper’s not really on fire, but your mind is probably telling you otherwise!

If you just can’t get enough of spicy foods, you could be in for long, long life. At least that’s according to one study on the connection between hot food and longevity. 

 If you’re a fan of seafood, in particular, you’re definitely in luck! That’s because spicy seafood is a great idea, no matter even the time of year.

As the temperatures outside continue to dip and Old Man Winter makes a showing, ‘tis the season to kick back by the fire and settle in for a long few months of winter ahead. But if you’re looking to warm up the winter months, you may not need to throw another log on the fire at all. Instead, head to the kitchen and go for some spicy, hot sauce-infused recipes.
