Study by scientists had found that including some red pepper can curb appetite and help burn unwanted calories.
"We found that consuming red pepper can help manage appetite and burn more calories after a meal, especially for individuals who do not consume the spice regularly," said Richard Mattes, professor of foods and nutrition at Purdue University, who led the study.
"Dietary changes that don't require great effort to implement, like sprinkling red pepper on your meal, may be sustainable and beneficial in the long run, especially when paired with exercise and healthy eating," the journal Physiology and Behaviour, quoting Mattes, said.
A group of non-overweight people, half who liked spicy food and half who did not, participated in the six-week study.
