Sour, sweet, bitter, hot and salty are the five flavors we perceive on the tip of our tongue. Today we are going to talk about one of these five tastes -- spicy. The classic representative of spicy is chili, which determines its attribute from its name.Chili is an indispensable seasoning in our kitchen, and I deeply feel that eating spicy will be addictive, I used to be a spicy person, but now has become a completely spicy people. Spicy can appetizer, increase appetite, and spicy can increase the flavor of dishes to a large extent, especially in Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine, if there is no pepper, then will lose the soul, become tasteless.
Eating chili peppers is not only good for our tongue, but also good for our body. Pepper not only contains capsaicin, but also rich in vitamin C, vitamin B, carotene and calcium, iron and other mineral components, help digestion, promote blood circulation, enhance immunity, of course, in the cold winter to eat some pepper can also be very good to help warm the body, from a certain extent than electric heating warm baby good.
Common in life are dry chili and fresh chili, of course, as a seasoning is mainly dry chili, chili varieties are more diverse, such as two Jingtiao, a new generation, hot millet, bell pepper and so on, different varieties, its spiciness is different, it is necessary to see their acceptable spiciness choice, my home is commonly used is hot millet and a new generation.
The peppers on the market are uneven, so we should pay attention to distinguish them when we buy them. We have seen the news before that some bad vendors will use sulfur to stain the peppers by some means in order to make them more beautiful and more convenient to preserve. If such peppers are consumed for a long time, it will be very harmful to our health. So how do you tell the difference between sulfur-smoked peppers? When buying, we should keep in mind "1 see 2 rub 3 smell", remember "3 do not buy", easily avoid the problem of "sulfur pepper", let's take a look at the detailed method below!
1. look at the color
Many people like to choose bright colors when buying hot peppers, thinking that the higher the level of appearance, the better the quality of hot peppers, in fact, this is a mistake. Normally, naturally dried peppers tend to be dark red or reddish brown rather than shiny. If you encounter peppers that are particularly bright and yellow in color, be on the lookout for problematic sulfur peppers.
2. Rub with your hands
When buying peppers, we can take a few dried peppers, put them in our hands, rub them with our hands for a few times, of course, in order to facilitate observation, we can also take some paper towels with us, wipe a few times with paper towels on the surface of dried peppers, if there is obvious fading phenomenon and yellow, then nine times out of ten are smoked, do not buy. Normal
dried peppers don't fade.
3. Smell it
When buying dried chilies, one of the most important steps is to grab a few and put them under your nose. If they are normal dried chilies, they will have a distinct pepper smell, but not pungent, unless you are allergic to chillies. But if the peppers have been smoked with sulfur, they will smell distinctly pungent.
To sum up, when buying
hot peppers, do not buy the following three kinds of
hot peppers, which are all "toxic hot peppers" smoked with sulfur:
1. look very beautiful color, bright, and yellow pepper;
2. hand rub or wipe with paper towels will obviously fade, and color yellow;
3. Peppers that smell distinctly pungent.
In addition to the above three kinds of "sulfur pepper" can not be purchased, we also need to pay attention to the following two points when buying chili, the selected pepper:
First, look at the appearance
The chili is complete and full, and there is no spotted insect bite, moldy and broken phenomenon, and no debris. Otherwise, it indicates poor quality and is not recommended to buy.
Second, look at the dry humidity
Dried peppers are very dry to the touch and do not return to moisture. On the contrary, if the pepper is found to return to moisture significantly, it is a sign of poor quality.
The
dried peppers bought at home should be put into a dry jar or bag with good sealing and stored in a dry and cool place to avoid mildew, insects, moisture and other phenomena. Of course, you can also put sealed dried peppers in the refrigerator to prolong the storage time of dried peppers. If the dry pepper appears mildew phenomenon, then it is recommended not to eat, because the moldy food is likely to hide aspergillus flavus, which is harmful to human health.
