The "King Cobra" Chilli

The Naga Morich chilli, Capsicum annuum, until a few years ago was considered the hottest chilli in the world. In fact, it was also called King Cobra due to its spiciness. Its value on the Scoville scale, the unit of measurement for spiciness, is over 1,000,000. It has also been listed in the Guinness World Records, precisely for its extremely strong flavour. The one shown in the photo is the Bhut Jolokia variety, native to India and obtained through genetic improvement. It is characterised by its bright red colour, as it is rich in beta-carotene, and its wrinkled surface. The Naga Morich chilli powder is a perfect seasoning for many recipes in the kitchen. Being extremely spicy, it is ideal for making strong oils and sauces. If you are not used to spicy chillies, it is advisable not to consume it raw.

Properties and Benefits of Naga Morich

The Naga Morich chilli has vasodilatory properties that produce beneficial effects for circulation. It helps regulate bad cholesterol (LDL) in the blood and normalises triglyceride levels. The strong spicy taste is due to the presence of active alkaloid compounds such as capsaicin, capsanthin, and capsorubin. These give it antibacterial, anticancer, analgesic, and antidiabetic properties. Moreover, the chilli is rich in vitamin C which helps the body eliminate toxins and counteract the action of free radicals. The Naga Morich also provides our body with a good amount of potassium, manganese, and iron. It is an excellent supplement of B vitamins which are essential for the human body.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement="middle" gap="10px" css="%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22padding-left%22%3A%2225px%22%2C%22padding-right%22%3A%2225px%22%7D%7D"][vc_column width="1/2" css="%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22border-color%22%3A%22%23057a2c%22%7D%7D"][vc_row_inner css="%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22background-color%22%3A%22%23f5f5f5%22%2C%22min-height%22%3A%22300px%22%2C%22padding-top%22%3A%2220px%22%2C%22padding-bottom%22%3A%2220px%22%2C%22padding-right%22%3A%2220px%22%2C%22border-style%22%3A%22solid%22%2C%22border-left-width%22%3A%221px%22%2C%22border-top-width%22%3A%221px%22%2C%22border-bottom-width%22%3A%221px%22%2C%22border-right-width%22%3A%221px%22%2C%22border-color%22%3A%22_header_middle_text_hover%22%7D%7D"][vc_column_inner width="5/12" css="%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22background-color%22%3A%22%23f5f5f5%22%2C%22background-image%22%3A%2214178%22%2C%22background-position%22%3A%22center%22%2C%22background-size%22%3A%22cover%22%2C%22background-repeat%22%3A%22no-repeat%22%2C%22margin-left%22%3A%2215px%22%2C%22padding-left%22%3A%2210px%22%2C%22padding-top%22%3A%2210px%22%2C%22padding-bottom%22%3A%2210px%22%2C%22padding-right%22%3A%2210px%22%2C%22border-left-width%22%3A%221%22%2C%22border-top-width%22%3A%221%22%2C%22border-bottom-width%22%3A%221%22%2C%22border-right-width%22%3A%221%22%2C%22border-color%22%3A%22_header_middle_text_hover%22%7D%7D"][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width="7/12" css="%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22padding-left%22%3A%2210px%22%2C%22padding-right%22%3A%220%22%7D%7D"][vc_column_text css="%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22color%22%3A%22_content_faded%22%2C%22font-family%22%3A%22Arial%2C%20Helvetica%2C%20sans-serif%22%2C%22font-weight%22%3A%22700%22%2C%22font-size%22%3A%2219px%22%2C%22line-height%22%3A%2220px%22%2C%22margin-top%22%3A%226px%22%2C%22margin-bottom%22%3A%226px%22%2C%22padding-top%22%3A%220%22%2C%22padding-bottom%22%3A%220%22%7D%7D"]Chilli in threads [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css="%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22font-family%22%3A%22Arial%2C%20Helvetica%2C%20sans-serif%22%2C%22font-size%22%3A%2213px%22%2C%22line-height%22%3A%2218px%22%2C%22margin-bottom%22%3A%220%22%2C%22padding-top%22%3A%220%22%2C%22padding-bottom%22%3A%220%22%7D%7D"] [/vc_column_text][us_btn label="SEE ON TIBIONA.IT" link="url:https%3A%2F%2Ftibiona.it%2Fpeperoncino-fili-5-g.html|title:SEE%20DETAILS|target:_blank" style="4" css="%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22margin-top%22%3A%2212px%22%2C%22position%22%3A%22relative%22%7D%7D"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_row_inner css="%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22background-color%22%3A%22%23f5f5f5%22%2C%22min-height%22%3A%22300px%22%2C%22padding-top%22%3A%2220px%22%2C%22padding-bottom%22%3A%2220px%22%2C%22padding-right%22%3A%2220px%22%2C%22border-style%22%3A%22solid%22%2C%22border-left-width%22%3A%221px%22%2C%22border-top-width%22%3A%221px%22%2C%22border-bottom-width%22%3A%221px%22%2C%22border-right-width%22%3A%221px%22%2C%22border-color%22%3A%22_header_middle_text_hover%22%7D%7D"][vc_column_inner width="5/12" css="%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22background-color%22%3A%22%23f5f5f5%22%2C%22background-image%22%3A%2214179%22%2C%22background-position%22%3A%22center%22%2C%22background-size%22%3A%22cover%22%2C%22background-repeat%22%3A%22no-repeat%22%2C%22margin-left%22%3A%2215px%22%2C%22padding-left%22%3A%2210px%22%2C%22padding-top%22%3A%2210px%22%2C%22padding-bottom%22%3A%2210px%22%2C%22padding-right%22%3A%2210px%22%2C%22border-left-width%22%3A%221%22%2C%22border-top-width%22%3A%221%22%2C%22border-bottom-width%22%3A%221%22%2C%22border-right-width%22%3A%221%22%2C%22border-color%22%3A%22_header_middle_text_hover%22%7D%7D"][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width="7/12" css="%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22padding-left%22%3A%2210px%22%2C%22padding-right%22%3A%220px%22%7D%7D"][vc_column_text css="%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22color%22%3A%22_content_faded%22%2C%22font-family%22%3A%22Arial%2C%20Helvetica%2C%20sans-serif%22%2C%22font-weight%22%3A%22700%22%2C%22font-size%22%3A%2219px%22%2C%22line-height%22%3A%2220px%22%2C%22margin-top%22%3A%226px%22%2C%22margin-bottom%22%3A%226px%22%2C%22padding-top%22%3A%220%22%2C%22padding-bottom%22%3A%220%22%7D%7D"]Kit no.10 assorted chillies [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css="%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22font-family%22%3A%22Arial%2C%20Helvetica%2C%20sans-serif%22%2C%22font-size%22%3A%2213px%22%2C%22line-height%22%3A%2218px%22%2C%22margin-bottom%22%3A%220%22%2C%22padding-top%22%3A%220%22%2C%22padding-bottom%22%3A%220%22%7D%7D"] [/vc_column_text][us_btn label="SEE ON TIBIONA.IT" link="url:https%3A%2F%2Ftibiona.it%2Fkit-n-10-peperoncini-diversi.html|title:SEE%20DETAILS|target:_blank" style="4" css="%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22margin-top%22%3A%2212px%22%2C%22position%22%3A%22relative%22%7D%7D"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
