Make It a Spicy Valentine’s Day with the Best Hot Sauces Ever!

Valentine’s Day is upon us and while many are rushing to get their last minute presents for their loved ones, we’re cooking up something extra hot for you lovers out there. Today, we’re putting a spicy new spin on Valentine’s Day by checking out the best hot sauces ever! Chili is a great way to make food extra interesting, as it adds a layer of flavor and heat to any dish. But aside from providing extra heat to dishes, did you know that chili has health benefits?

 

Chili’s Hidden Health Benefits

There are some health benefits to consuming chili moderately, thanks to its capsaicin. What is capsaicin? According to Healthline, capsaicin is the “main bioactive plant compound” in chili that makes it uniquely hot. Interestingly, capsaicin has been found to be helpful in preventing malignant cells to grow, thus being effective in the treatment of prostate cancer, Livestrong reported. Additionally, capsaicin has been found to help suppress appetite, so it’s great for those who are trying to lose or maintain weight.

Chili is also rich in vitamins, including the antioxidant vitamin C, vitamin B6 for energy metabolism, vitamin K1 or phylloquinone for healthy blood, bones, and kidneys, potassium, copper, and beta carotene, which converts to vitamin A. To get your fix of chili and its health benefits, we’ve curated some of the best hot sauces ever that you can incorporate into your Valentine’s dinner dishes!
