Chili Trivia
When Christopher Columbus was looking for a new spice trade route and bumped into the new world, he came across these new fruits. Western Natives offered him chili peppers, when he ate the pods he felt the same “burn” or “heat” felt from black pepper and he mistakenly called it “pimiento” after the Spanish word for black pepper.
The spiciness in the Chili pepper is derived from a compound called CAPSAICIN, which is a substance located in the internal partitions of the fruit, that causes acrid vapors and a burning taste. Contrary to popular belief, the seeds in the pepper are not the source of heat. The capsaicin is produced in the glands and the most heat is found in the placenta of the pepper that attaches the seeds to the pod.
When you feel the heat from the Chili Pepper the best way to cool your mouth is with dairy products such as milk, sour cream or ice cream, the more fat in the product the better. Cold water will not cool the heat. The capsaicin is a whitish powder which is insoluble in cold water. Chiles are high in Vitamin A and Vitamin C and are reported to help lower blood pressure! And did you know, the smaller and thinner the pepper, the hotter it will be!
