Cayenne pepper, raw

🥦 About this food

Light, versatile, and easy to work into any plate, Cayenne pepper is the kind of everyday staple that makes meals better without much effort. On the micronutrient front, it stands out for vitamin C, which supports the immune system. Its potassium is another plus, helping blood pressure and muscle function. It is also rich in vitamin A, a nutrient closely tied to vision and skin health. It is delightfully light on calories, so you can be a little generous and still keep the daily total in check.
