Why Peppers Taste Hot ?
The
heat sensation is caused by capsaicin, which is a colorless, odorless,
oily chemical found in peppers. Capsaicin binds with certain sensory
neurons which then more or less trick your body into thinking that it is
being burned or at least experiencing excessive amounts of heat in the
area that the capsaicin comes in contact with, even though no actual
physical burning is taking place.
Recently, scientists were
surprised to discover that capsaicin is also the source of a medical
breakthrough. Paradoxically, what makes peppers burn can also bring
relief from pain -- under the right circumstances.
