Pepper contains essential oils, vitamins B1, B2, C, P, sulfur, phosphorus, potassium, sugar, nitrogenous substances, lycopene. Peanuts are also high in vitamin. Unash warms the body and quenches hunger. In winter, it is more beneficial to eat unash, which has been widely used among our people since ancient times with its dietary properties, in order to increase the body's resistance to various diseases, especially colds.
