Shelf Life and Storage

Chillies have a shelf life of 2 to 3 days. Keep them away from sunlight in a cool and dry place if you are using them immediately. If you plan on using them later, keep the chillies in a plastic bag or an airtight container and place them into the fridge. You can also blanch them to get an exceptionally longer shelf life by cutting and placing them inside an airtight container and keeping them in a freezer.

Health Benefits

Anti-inflammatory Properties:

Capsaicin, an active compound found in chillis, acts on the pain receptors relieving pain including muscle pain, nerve pain, arthritis pain, etc. 

Better Digestive Health:

Capsaicin in chillies stimulates gastric secretions to improve digestion. It is rich in fiber, an insoluble compound, that the body doesn't digest and instead, it ends up adding bulk to the stools that the body removes with the stools. This perhaps helps prevent conditions such as constipation. 

Antioxidants: 

The Vitamin C found in chillies is an antioxidant that helps prevent immune cells from damage caused by free radicals. These are free-floating molecules that crush cells leading to chronic inflammation. Capsaicin too has antioxidant properties that compound the effects of Vitamin C.
