About

It has been used traditionally to add a zesty heat to dishes and is popular in Chinese and Asian cuisine for enhancing flavours in sauces, stir-fries, and broths. While some people consider it beneficial for digestion and circulation, scientific evidence is limited. As always, it's advisable to consult with healthcare professionals for personalised guidance on health concerns.
