Chili Pepper

Chili peppers contain capsaicin, which can boost metabolism and aid in pain relief.

Store fresh chili peppers in the refrigerator, in a plastic bag, and use within one to two weeks. For longer storage, freeze them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to six months. Dried chili peppers should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place and used within six months to a year.
