đź’ĄPeople have been using hot and spicy seasonings in their food for more than 6,000 years according to archaeologists.

🌶️There are 140 varieties of chili peppers grown in Mexico alone.

❤️‍🔥August 19th is National Hot & Spicy Food Day in the United States and International Hot & Spicy Food Day is held in January.

🔥People who love fiery food have been dubbed pyro-gourmaniacs.

🥵One of the most common reactions to imbibing hot, fiery food is to sweat which is referred to as gustatory perspiration.

🧨The heat produced by spices or foods is measured in Scoville Heat Units (SHU), which were originally created by Wilbur Scoville who pioneered the process for measuring the heat produced by a food or spice. Today this test is conducted using a liquid chromatographer.

💥Capsaicin, the chemical in peppers that makes them hot, isn’t found in any other plant and is potent enough that people can identify it even when the concentration is as little as one part per million.

🌶️The part of the chili plant that is just below the stem produces the ribs and the seeds; some of these parts are more than 16 times hotter than the rest of the pepper.

🥵With peppers, bigger might not be better, especially if you like them hot. Generally, the smaller the pepper, the hotter and none of the hottest peppers in the world are more than 3” long.

❤️‍🔥Chili peppers are good for you. They are high in vitamins, a good source of beta carotene, calcium, and potassium, and may help reduce cholesterol.

🧨Many hot and spicy foods have medicinal and antimicrobial properties.

🔥Chilies, along with garlic, onions, allspice, and oregano have all been proven to kill bacteria making food safer to consume.

đź’ĄChili peppers can help you lose weight by boosting your metabolism and curbing your cravings for fatty and sugary foods.

🥵When ingested, the capsaicin in peppers causes chemical processes in the body that affect thermogenesis, the process that is responsible for increasing both body heat and metabolism according to the Journal of Biological Chemistry.

🌶️Although most people think eating spicy foods like chili peppers can cause stomach ulcers, the opposite is true. Ingesting spicy food can help heal ulcers by stimulating the creation of mucosa, the protective lining of the stomach, and killing the bacteria responsible for the ulcer.

❤️‍🔥When handling peppers, especially if it is a pepper you have never used before, wear gloves. Some oils can blister skin or result in an allergic reaction. Always be sure to wash your hands and nails well with soap and warm water and be cautious when touching your eyes or face.

🔥The best way to ease the burn of spicy food is with milk, yogurt, or ice cream. Dairy-free versions of these will also help! Avoid water as it won’t mix with the oil and will only result in moving the heat to other parts of your mouth.

🧨Don’t forget about hot mustard, hot honey, wasabi, and horseradish, which all fit into the hot & spicy food category. Although they don’t pack the same kind of punch as their cousins the peppers, they can be a good alternative to spice up your dinner for those who don’t like or can’t tolerate the heat produced by peppers.
