Chili Pepper News

It’s a little difficult to believe there was once a time when hot sauces weren’t on everyone’s lips. We mean that literally; you know – as they drool and sweat through the glorious pain that comes with capsaicin. And, we also mean that figuratively – as in the fact that people can’t stop talking about super hot sauces. This isn’t just an American thing either. You know all about Tesco’s supermarket in the UK selling reaper peppers. You’ve also heard about the South African chicken chain, Nando’s, creating some blazing peri peri burgers. What you may not know is that...

As the Presidential election draws ever closer, it’s easy to forget about the simple things in life. Just think about it, that person could be the next president. It doesn’t matter which side of the political fence you’re on; you’ve got to be a little scared at this moment.

Once upon a time, there was a rumor floating around that chili peppers caused ulcers. It’s an easy assumption to make. After all, the burning that chili peppers cause in your mouth could likely be linked with heartburn and other stomach or digestive issues linked with burning sensations. However, it’s faulty logic. If chili peppers left holes in your tongue, then it would be easier to link them to holes in your stomach.
