Capsaicin in peppers can also have beneficial effects on metabolism, stimulating energy consumption and leading to satiety.

Tips for successful plant growth
On the same plant, the chili pepper ripening is phased, so several flowerings can happen one after another. The chili peppers are initially green and, then, they gradually turn red.
In 3 months after planting, you will be able to see the first red chili peppers. Harvest the chili peppers preferably when they have a firm structure and a vibrant red color. Handle the plant gently, because the stems are very brittle; use the Veritable mini-scissors to cut the chili peppers with a 1 cm stem. Harvesting frequently encourages the production of new chili peppers.
Continue harvesting for 2 to 5 months.
