International Day of Spicy and Spicy Foods
It always falls on January
16th every year.
Already 6,000 years ago, people used hot and spicy food. Hot foods can be very good for humans because they have healing and antimicrobial properties. Garlic, chili, onion and oregano all these foods kill bacteria.
In hot peppers, the
substance is capsaicin. The active ingredient contained in all the peppers
causes the brain to believe that our body is overheated and creates a burning
sensation. We begin to sweat and help in weight loss because it increases
metabolism. Cold milk or yogurt is best aided by burning. Milk contains casein
and this substance that dampens fats and binds to capsaicin oil and spills it
out. The worst is to drink water because it does not mix with the oil and will
result in heat transfer to the entire mouth.
The Scoville scale gives
the measured pepper and chilli pepper. Capsules contain capsaicin and cause
burns to stimulate nerve endings of the tongue. The number of units of fire corresponds
to the amount of capsaicin present.
This scale is named after
American chemist Wilbur L. Scoville. In 1912, he published a method of
quantitative comparison of pepper heat. It is a solution of peppers, water and
sugar and then diluted with water and tested by the taster until the hotness
disappears.
To celebrate this day, you
can have a bunch of hot peppers.
