Cayenne pepperLike most colorful produce, cayenne peppers are a good source of nutrients. In particular, they are rich in:

Vitamin C.
Vitamin A.
Vitamin B6.
Vitamin K.

“If you can get your hands on fresh cayenne peppers, you’ll get a lot more vitamins. One fresh pepper has 72% of the recommended daily amount of vitamin C and 50% of vitamin A,” Supan says.

Black pepper may help boost nutrient absorption, promote digestion, and prevent diarrhea. But, eating high amounts may promote too much absorption of some medications.
