Nutrition facts

I stumbled on this while looking for general nutrition information on other peppers.

If this is right, the Bhuts are way more healthy than I thought. Just one pepper gives you 80% of your vitamin A and 170% of the vitamin C.

Seems like just the right vegetable for fighting the flu bug this year.

Seems a heck of a lot more potent than the Cayanne which many people claim is a great natural remedy.

I have heard that ounce for ounce, peppers are a much better source of Vitamin C than citrus fruits. Granted, most people won't be willing to substitute hot peppers for oranges... but chiliheads should have relatively good immune systems. One has to be careful not to go down the road of seeing them as a cure-all. [Not that I am implying that you are] But, it is amazing.... I haven't died even once since I started eating hot peppers.
