HOT PEPPERS AND SEA SALT?

ADDING SPICE WITH HOT PEPPERS

Chili peppers are a great way to add flavor to many meals. According to our registered dietitian, they are also a good source of vitamins A and C. The hottest peppers include anaheim, ancho, cayenne, casabel, habanero, jalapeno, and serano.

If you want to turn down the heat,simply remove the seeds and inner membranes before adding the peppers to your dish. But be careful to avoid burning your skin. Wear gloves or wash hands immediately after handling them, and avoid all contact with the eyes when you're touching peppers.


IS SEA SALT BETTER FOR YOU?

Sea salt or table salt,what's the difference? Ordinary table salt comes from salt mines and is usually refined until it is pure sodium chloride; whereas, sea salt is harvested from the sea and is typically less refined. But the sodium content of each is essentially the same.

One advantage of sea salt is that some people may use a little less because of its courser texture. As with any salt, use in moderation and aim for no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium in your diet daily..
