Chile Pepper Fun Fact - The Chicken or the Egg

The Chilies have come to roost!

Did you know that chili powder is what famed chefs Dan Barber and Dominique Ansel use to change the color of their chicken egg yolks bright red?

Chili Powder also has a surprising health benefit it’s been shown in studies that the capsaicin might help prevent and/or get rid of worms in chickens.

The idea is the worms object to the spicy taste of the chili powder, detach from the hen’s body, and leave through...the back entrance, breaking the lifecycle of the worms.

Have some chickens of your own? You can add chili powder to your flock’s or add it to nesting boxes.

Eggstraordinary!
