Aside from being quick, easy and delicious, this Caribbean inspired combination of cayenne pepper, white pepper, black pepper, dried basil, dried thyme, and smoked paprika packs a punch on the nutritional front as well.
- Antioxidant Properties: Many of the spices in this mix, like cayenne pepper, black pepper, and smoked paprika, have antioxidants that help the body get rid of harmful free radicals. This lowers oxidative stress and inflammation.
- Boost Your Metabolism: Capsaicin in cayenne pepper supports healthy metabolism. Spices like black pepper, dried basil, and dried thyme help keep your gut moving normally and can ease the pain of indigestion or gas.
- Effects on Inflammation: Cayenne pepper and basil have anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce inflammation in the body.
- Vitamin & Mineral Content: Paprika and thyme are good sources of vitamin K and iron. Paprika also has carotenoids and vitamin A.
