When you eat them you get a burning sensation, with little to no taste. Yet we still eat them, and i've always wondered, why? Of course this may come down to personal taste, but can anyone give me a reasonable explanation.  |
As said before the sensation is part of the thing. The burning sensation is caused by
capsaicin in the peppers. People react to it very differently, some have very good natural tolerance for it some don't. Eating spicy foods does increase this tolerance. If the burning sensation overwhelms the taste of the pepper or the food you just went a bit overboard with it. Peppers should taste in the food. And different peppers are a world apart what it comes to taste and spiciness. However that makes spicing food a bit difficult since due to individual tolerances.
