Regularly eating foods containing spices may serve as more than just a flavorsome dish.  An Australian study has discovered that the capsaicin-loaded spice has a direct effect to lowering blood glucose and insulin levels.  This is good news for anyone faced with the prospect of Type II diabetes.  Volunteers in this study started off with a bland diet for four weeks before switching to a diet that was supplemented with condiments containing 55% cayenne chili.  The results of the blood tests revealed that insulin levels were the highest after the bland meals - the lowest levels of insulin was recorded after the spice-enriched feasts.  Furthermore, a higher level of insulin clearance was observed in those eating the spicy meals.  The specific mechanism responsible for this significant health benefit remains unidentified, but that should not deter anyone from spicing up their diet.

Both of our Sauces are vegetarian, and are sold in 10 oz. jars.

This condiment has many uses.  It serves as a great dipping sauce for various Hors d’œuvre, or for egg rolls, or to go on cream cheese and crackers.  It is very useful for cooking as well.  One can use it as a glaze for BBQ, as a marinade, or to make stir fry, baked chicken, or even shrimp cocktail.

The sugar and vinegar in the pepper jelly acts as natural preservatives and as a result can keep for many years even without refrigeration.

Keeps forever and doesn't need to be refrigerated.

Sugar & Spice

Serving up chili-spiced meals on a regular basis can do more than tickle your palate, according to a new study out of Australia. The capsaicin-rich spice appears to lower blood glucose and insulin levels, which bodes well for anyone facing the specter of Type 2 Diabetes.

In the study, a group of volunteers ate a bland diet for four weeks before switching over to a diet that was supplemented with condiments containing 55% cayenne chili. Blood tests revealed that the highest insulin levels occurred after the bland meals, and the lowest after the chili feast. Those eating the spicy meals also showed a higher level of insulin clearance.

The exact mechanism for this activity remains unidentified, but that shouldn't deter anyone from spicing up their diet.
