Green chillies, also known as chili peppers or hot peppers, are widely used in various cuisines around the world for their spicy flavor. They come in different shapes, sizes, and levels of heat.
Green chillies are low in calories and fat but rich in several beneficial nutrients. They are a good source of vitamins A, C, and K. They also contain minerals like potassium, magnesium, and iron.
Here is the approximate nutritional value of one green chilli (about 45 grams):

- Fiber: 2 g
- Vitamin C: 109 mg (182% of the daily recommended intake)
