How to remove the spicy taste of peppers

Chili is a very important condiment in our lives. Spicy cuisines such as Sichuan cuisine and Hunan cuisine are world-famous. Everyone has a different tolerance for spicy food, which means we must control the heat when cooking. But sometimes the food we cook or eat is too spicy, and it is definitely not an option to completely avoid it. So, how can we remove the spiciness of peppers if they are too spicy?

1. If your tongue feels numb after eating spicy food, you might as well drink some milk. It can combine with capsaicin molecules and quickly relieve taste discomfort.

2. If you put too much chili when cooking, you might as well add some vinegar. When eating in a restaurant, if the food is too spicy, you can also ask for a small dish of vinegar to dip it in. Because the acetic acid in vinegar can neutralize the spicy taste and reduce the irritation.

Three things to note when eating spicy food

1. Pay attention when cooking.

First of all, it is best to choose dishes made with fresh peppers. Because fresh peppers are more nutritious and less "fiery", you should eat less dried peppers, chili powder, etc. Experts warn that the spiciness of fresh peppers will be reduced after being cooked at high temperatures.

If chili peppers are already in the dish, do not add hot seasonings such as Sichuan peppercorns, aniseed, cinnamon, etc. Otherwise, it will add heat to the heat and make you more susceptible to getting a sore throat. Finally, experts suggest that you can soak the peppers in vinegar for a while before cooking, or

2. It’s important to match the ingredients.

Experts say that eating spicy food with some cool food can have a "neutralizing" effect and clear away heat and reduce fire. Duck meat, fish, bitter gourd, lotus root, water chestnut, tofu, lettuce, etc. are all cool foods that can clear away heat, promote salivation, nourish yin and reduce dryness, and are the best partners for spicy dishes.

3. It is best to choose coarse grains as staple food.

Because it is rich in dietary fiber, it can prevent constipation caused by dryness and heat in the stomach and intestines. Corn or sweet potatoes are good choices. In addition, coix seed can also remove dryness. If it is used to make porridge with lily, the effect will be more obvious.
