"Semences de Kokopelli" by Dominique Guillet
This ancient variety originates from the region of Ampuis, a French commune in the Rhône department of the Rhône-Alpes region, which is the capital of the famous Côte Rôtie vineyards.
Rich in vitamins C and provitamin A, chillies have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It also contains numerous minerals such as iron and magnesium, as well as capsaicin, an alkaloid with multiple antibacterial (very effective on H. Pylori), antiseptic, digestive, diuretic and sudorific virtues. Numerous studies have highlighted its ability to stimulate the production of hormones such as adrenalin and noradrenalin, known in part for their role in burning sugars and fat reserves. A growing number of studies are highlighting its effectiveness against the formation of various cancer cells. In large quantities, this alkaloid stimulates the release of endorphins, which contribute to feelings of pleasure and well-being.
