- Red Hot pepper is used in cooking as a kind of popular seasoning, and it has also been used medicinally for thousands of years because it contains capsaicin, which is the substance on which the temperature of the pepper depends. The more capsaicin the pepper contains, the higher it's temperature.
From a nutritional point of view, hot peppers contain high amounts of vitamin C and beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A as needed, in addition to iron, magnesium, potassium, and vitamin B.
