CHILI PEPPERS…..DID YOU KNOW….
* Remedies for eating a pepper that is too hot for you:
Drink milk, rinsing the mouth with it while swallowing,
ice cream or yogurt.
Eat rice or bread which will absorb the capsaicin.
Drink tomato juice or eat a fresh lime or lemon ( the
acid will counter act the alkalinity of the capsaicin). Do not drink water- capsaicin which is an oil, will not
mix with water but instead, will distribute to more parts of the mouth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In 1912, a chemist named Wilbur Scoville
developed a method to measure the heat level of a chili pepper called “the Scoville Organoleptic
Test”. The pungency of chili peppers is measured in multiples of 100 units, from the
“bell pepper” at zero Scoville units to the incendiary “Red Savina” Habanero pepper at
577,000 Scoville units. The substance that makes a chili so hot is Capsaicin. In its
pure form, capsaicin rates over 15,000,000 Scoville units!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Capsaicin prevents animals from eating chili peppers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Mammals get a burning sensation from capsaicin but birds
do not which makes them perfect distributors for the seeds. Seeds pass through
bird’s gut intact and get spread in new areas.
