4 Ways To Stop The Burn Of Spicy Foods
Most of us have made the same mistake. You bite down into an appetizer or a snack and realize it’s spicier then you thought! Our general first reaction is to reach for water first, hoping it will cool down the burn. But did you know that sometimes drinking water after spicy food can make the burn worse? Water has a tendency to spread the burn around and make it burn stronger! So what do you head for next if water doesn’t work? Well check out the 4 ways below to find out how to stop the burn of spicy foods:
- Sugar: Sugar is a great way to end the spicy burn you feel after biting into a hot food item! Simply find a piece of gum or even small candies to cool the burn and get some relief!
- Milk: The fat in milk can really help when you are experiencing the burn of spicy food. Grab a tall glass of milk to soothe the pain. If you don’t have any milk on hand, most dairy products will work to the same effect such as yogurt and cheese.
- Juice: Not all juices work to soothe the burn of spicy food but the number one choices are: Lime juice, lemonade, tomato juice or orange juice. This works mostly because of the acid present in the juices. Have a tall glass and the burn will be gone before you know it.
- Bread: If you can’t find any of the above, a last option is to grab a slice of bread. The bread will absorb the spiciness of the item and the texture will help to cool your mouth and throat back to a normal temperature.
