Some Flamin' Hot Facts About Spicy Foods

Weird History Food is gonna burn your tongue with some Facts About Spicy Foods. Whether sitting down to enjoy an authentically made dish, or grabbing a quick snack, those who love the thrill of a tingly palate accompanied by a runny nose tend to include spicy foods as part of their daily intake. Over the years, foodies have begun to expect the flavors of jalapeños in their favorite Tex-Mex dishes, a piquant “traditional” curry at their favorite Indian restaurants, and to be asked if they can handle the heat incorporated into Thai food.

The whole taste buds on certain parts of the tongue is a myth.

[@EddyGurge]

Yeah, whoever researched this one must live under a rock.

[@darlenehoward2340]

Thank you. I was coming here to make this same comment. The so-called taste zones of the tongue idea was debunked many years ago. Why is a video in 2023 still perpetuating this myth??

[@FussyPickles]

you mean an unsourced clickbait video is lying to me? oh dear

[@Tactical_Hotdog]

@@FussyPickles yet here you are, watching it.

[@Adam-M-]

Well, technically it's the animators who messed that one up. If you listen to the script, she doesn't say that there are separate areas of the tongue for each taste, but it's implied by the animation that plays. Now granted, I'm not sure if that's their animation or if it's sourced.

[@donaldwildgrube5544]

Latest research shows that salty, sweet, etc, sensor buds are evenly distributed all over the tongue.

[@DemnRaig80]

That research isn't latest or newest. That's been known for decades.

[@Grinningfartking6969]

Humans love to thumb their noses at Nature for sure. My favorite is _Brassica oleoracea_ -- which has been jacked up into over a dozen different veggies we eat, including cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, kale, collard greens, and others -- but the absolute, most delightfully absurd one is Romanesco broccoli. If you've never heard of that, well, you're in for a real visual treat. I hear it tastes like regular broccoli, but it looks like something so impossibly mechanical that Nature could not have come up with it -- and yet it did, with just the right luck and tweaking. It's nicknamed fractal broccoli for a reason!

[@ericcampbell9470]

The reason for the Sriracha shortage is not because of a bad growing season. It's because they screwed over Underwood Ranch, their long-time pepper supplier in the US, for cheaper growers without experience. Look it up. Also Underwood Ranches Premium Sriracha is like the OG Huy Fong, much better than the current stuff.Highly recommend.

[@HayTatsuko]

If you don't wanna pay $90 for a bottle of Tuong Ot Sriracha (aka Rooster Sauce), I'll point you to Underwood Ranches, the former supplier of red jalapeño peppers for Huy Fong Foods. HF breached contract with Underwood a few years ago, signing up for the year's usual production purchase and then reneging on it. Underwood sued and won a $22 million decision -- and then they started selling their own hot sauces. Their Sriracha is every bit as good as the rooster sauce, maybe even a little better. And there ain't any shortage of it. Also, a little correction: Si Racha had an influx of Chinese immigrants from Guangzhou (Canton) in the 1800s. They brought their chili garlic sauce with them, which eventually became first the popular Thai version of that sauce (Sriraja Panich) in the 1930s, then more so after David Tran brought it to the US after moving there in the 1970s and coming up with the famous Rooster Sauce.

[@monkeygraborange]

Correction, grasshopper. If you go to their website you’ll see that they too are out of stock on the Sriracha.

[@Diwasho]

The weather conditions have nothing to do with Huy Fong's decreasing output rate of sriracha, it's because they ceased their partnership with the farm that supplied their peppers.

[@giraffesinc.2193]

Absolutely!

They screed that guy over. Buy any other brand.

[@Tanzim-Kazi]

Coming from someone who likes to eat spicy food, I have some interesting facts that some may or may not know. I've learned that most countries whose cuisines are spicy (or pungent if you like), like Mexico, India, and Thailand, tend to have warm to hot climates. I believe it's just a coincidence, but I may be wrong. But I can list reasons why the foods in those countries taste that way. Spices and peppers grow well on those climates, so those are always readily available. Second, we know what happens when you eat spicy food, with the capsaicin and stuff. It makes your body temperature increase, which makes you sweat. Perspiration is human's natural cooler. This helps when dealing with very hot temperatures, especially if it's a dry one. Third, and I'm not sure if this is true, but I heard spices have antibacterial things that would at least prevent the food from going bad, since food usually goes bad faster in the heat. Now just because a country has a warm to hot climate doesn't necessarily mean their food is spicy. Greece has a warm climate, but I don't think their food is pungent. On the other hand, South Korean cuisine is, even though that country has a cold climate.

[@l_7376]

Cool! Thanks for this!

[@dennisp8520]

Points 2 and 3 have had multiple studies to disprove them. Point 1 referenceing availability is the largest contributor. Although there has additional studies referencing how peppers may have been used for medicinal purposes as odd as that sounds.

[@marcstevens8576]

Thanks for such a most accurate reply. Been to India, where the climate is very hot & a lot of the folks there, who really couldn't afford either housing or gourmet food, they use their curried dishes to both nourish them & make them sweat to cool them down while living outdoors.

[@lakrids-pibe]

Vanilla is a spice. Cinnamon is a spice. Cardamom, cloves and ginger are spices. Coca cola is a spicy drink full of spices. So is pumpkin spice latte. So, the hot peppery taste/pain sensation of capsaicin is not the definition of the word "spicy", it's a very limited category of "spicy". Chili is not the only spice.

[@Diwasho]

Yeah, never understood why the English language refers to the hot burning sensation as spicy, not exactly fitting definition. No other language does this.

[@gracekim25]

@@Diwashoit’s to do with HEAT not random spices, guys😅

[@dennisp8520]

@KaisaIslamovawell English is a diverse language. If you live somewhere that snows frequently here in the US you will find that the local region has like 20 different words to reference different kinds of snow. Where as down south in the US they don’t have them in their stand vocabularies. Going back to the term spice/spicy the big thing is context within the sentence. Other words get used as well such as the food being “hot”. Other spices get referred to commonly as herbs or spices. When we talk about food that uses those spices people say it’s well seasoned

One of the hottest pepper that I've ever eaten raw and know by name is the habanero. One of my managers was on lunch with me in the break room, where someone had brought a mini collection of peppers to share with all the employees. I picked out a smallish, orange one and bit into it. As I did, I noticed my manager had stopped eating hers and was staring at me apprehensively, as though I didn't know what I had just done---and in truth, I actually didn't. It felt like the oil/juice of the habanero was rolling slowly over my entire tongue. It was hot...then it got _really_ hot. But I didn't complain. I sweat, and had to breath a littler heavier, but I didn't freak out. I had already liked spicy foods of lesser intensities prior to that for years (spicy snacks/chips, cayenne pepper, tabasco), so I feel like that gave me at least _some_ form of "training". When my manager saw that I wasn't making a fuss (outwardly), she complimented me by saying, "Wow, I'm impressed. Most people who eat those can't handle it. They're all like, _oh my god, I wanna' die_ after they try it."

The Scoville scale is BS. There's something more to hot peppers that will change the way you react to them. I can plow through Wingstop's Atomic sauce like it's nothing (but Mango Habanero tastes way better), but the tomatillo-and-red-chile sauce from Chipotle has a tendency to get my attention far out of proportion to the amount of capsaicin in those wimpy little chipotle peppers. The burrito comes off as spicier to me than the wings that are supposedly 30-50 times hotter according to the Scoville scale.
