Red pepper, also known as pink pepper, is a spice derived from the fruit of plants such as Schinus molle or Schinus terebinthifolia (Brazilian peppercorn). Red pepper in Poland is not as popular as black pepper. It has a distinctive and more delicate taste than the dark-colored one. However, it is worth reaching for it due to its richness in nutrients and beneficial effects on health.

It exhibits anti-inflammatory effects, aids digestive processes, and regulates blood cholesterol levels. Red pepper has a characteristic reddish-purple color. The fruit is covered with a skin, under which a small seed is hidden. It is characterized by a sharp, yet sweet taste. In cooking it is used to season sauces and salads, both fruit and vegetable. The characteristic pungent taste of red pepper is influenced by an organic compound from the alkaloid group called capsaicin. There is also no shortage of vitamin C and bio-elements such as calcium, iron and magnesium. There is a fair amount of dietary fiber in red pepper, as well as an essential oil that contains terpenes. Consumption of red pepper induces greater secretion of digestive juices, making digestion easier. The dietary fiber contained in the plant improves intestinal peristalsis. It influences better metabolism and allows to remove unnecessary metabolic products from the body. It also has the advantage of preventing constipation and affecting easier bowel movements. People who want to get rid of excess weight are recommended to consume products that have this valuable organic compound in their composition.
