What are good things about Habanero Peppers .


Habenero has B complex

B complex has

The vitamins that make up B complex are thiamine (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), biotin, folic acid, and the cobalamins (vitamin B12).Sep 19, 2020


Is Vitamin B1 water soluble ?

Vitamin B1 is is a water-soluble vitamin needed to process carbohydrates, fat, and protein. Every cell of the body requires vitamin B1 to form the fuel the body runs on—adenosine triphosphate (ATP) ; (Vitamin B1 activates the immune system of plants ) .


What else should we know about Habanero ?


3) Habanero (Very, Very Hot) : “These little babies can pack up to 500,000 Scoville units, compared to jalapeños, which only come to 15,000 units — habaneros aren’t for the weak-hearted,” Friedman warns. “They achieve this high heat rating thanks to their abundant capsaicin content, which according to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, can be used as a treatment for a variety of medical disorders.”

Similar to Scotch bonnets, habaneros also boast high amounts of those stress-relieving B-complex vitamins. “These vitamins also help improve energy levels and are essential for the health of our nervous system and brain,” Friedman explains. “Research shows habaneros can help combat prostate cancer: A study performed by the Department of Hematology/Oncology at Cedars Sinai Medical Center shows that habanero peppers can help slow the growth and proliferation of human prostate cancer cells.”

“If you’re battling your weight, try adding habanero peppers to your diet,” Friedman continues. “According to the Journal of Proteome Research, habaneros create thermogenesis, the process in which the body raises its temperature or energy output. This increases the body’s metabolism, which forces fat cells to be used as energy.”

Habaneros can also fend off high blood pressure. “A six-week study showed that capsaicinoids found in habaneros reduced total cholesterol and bad cholesterol levels without reducing levels of good cholesterol,” Friedman says. “So while eating a habanero might make you sweat and increase your heart rate, it may also actually help lower your blood pressure.”

Abstract
Capsaicinoids (CAP) are nitrogenous metabolites formed from valine (Val) and phenylalanine (Phe) in the placentas of hot Capsicum genotypes. Placentas of Habanero peppers can incorporate inorganic nitrogen into amino acids and have the ability to secure the availability of the required amino acids for CAP biosynthesis. In order to determine the participation of the placental tissue as a supplier of these amino acids, the effects of blocking the synthesis of Val and Phe by using specific enzyme inhibitors were analyzed. Isolated placentas maintained in vitro were used to rule out external sources′ participation. Blocking Phe synthesis, through the inhibition of arogenate dehydratase, significantly decreased CAP accumulation suggesting that at least part of Phe required in this process has to be produced in situ. Chlorsulfuron inhibition of acetolactate synthase, involved in Val synthesis, decreased not only Val accumulation but also that of CAP, pointing out that the requirement for this amino acid can also be fulfilled by this tissue. The presented data demonstrates that CAP accumulation in in vitro maintained placentas can be accomplished through the in situ availability of Val and Phe and suggests that the synthesis of the fatty acid chain moiety may be a limiting factor in the biosynthesis of these alkaloids.

Placenta. This is where the seeds of the plant are attached to the top of the fruit. It is also known as the pith and lies directly below the calyx. This part of the plant is where most of the capsaicin in the chili pepper fruit resides (it contains 89% of the alkaloid capsaicin)

I use habanero's in my Jerk marinade. Scotch bonnets are not always available. Plus I have a bunch of habanero's I grew last year in the freezer. Damn, now I'm going to have to go get some chicken hindquarters and grill some Jerk chicken.

I love Habanero salsa, you just have to make it right and it'll make your head sweat but won't put your hole body on fire.

I have come to the unfortunate conclusion that even though they have vitamins, their just not good for you and putting strain on your kidneys and liver to detox you. I really just like the taste and the heat, but there is no nutrition to be found, and if you indulge often, it could be argued they have some negative effects. I miss em, but if I cant eat hot sauce and peppers how I was and have to be cautious, fuck it.
