Texans use lame, mild jalepeno peppers. Louisianans eat cayenne peppers. Much hotter.
suprisingly cayenne pepper does NOT cause stomach or intestinal problems, but in fact heals them. I had a endoscopy at my V A hospital last year and they found numerous lesions and ulcers in my throat and stomach. they told me I would have to be on a medication called omeprazole for the rest of my life due to excess stomach acid.
on the advice of a friend I began taking 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper twice a day. I had a return endoscopy last week to check on the progress and ALL of the lesions and ulcers are GONE. the doctor was amazed. By the way I never even began the ameprazole.
Need to try it with New Mexicans green chiles....
How--or better said in what?
I would also like to hear the details. Exact product, taken with food? etc. Thanks. I’ve been taking Prilosec for around 10 years now.
1/4 tsp in half cup of warm water, slam it
it is a little hot the first time but it gets better with time.
some of the other benifits are increased metabolism
and lower blood presure and cholesterol
look at my reply above for dosage and method.
since i began this prograhm i have not had heartburn or acid reflux at all
Sez you.
In my local grocery store, you can buy anaheims, poblanos, jalapenos, piquins, serranos, de arbols, thai, scotch bonnets and habaneros, as well as your much milder cayennes.
My favorite is the thai peppers, rated at 100,000 to 350,000 scoville, versus 30,000 to 50,000 for cayenne.
Our restaurants often feature habanero based hot sauce (200,000 to 300,000) versus the tasty but much milder (30,000 to 50,000) sauces like the venerable Louisiana Tabasco.
While Louisiana has some excellent and unique cuisine, hot it's not. You want hot you gotta come to Texas !
you might want to google cayenne pepper,health benifits
My family eats Thai & our favorite are the Caribbean hots.
My wife suffers horrible attacks and the doctors just shrug.
Oh yummy! Ok, well sounds like it’s worth a try. Thanks so much.
I use jalapeños in some things, but I usually prefer serranos, just for the taste, for instance if I am going to make a ceviche or a torta. I tend to use the jalapeños in a pico de gallo. I cook with poblanos (to stuff, or to make cream soup) fairly often, too, as well as guajillos and anchos; the last I love to use when making chilaquiles. I use chile de arbol or pequin to make spicy flavored vinegar to use as a condiment. Some of the best red (Chimayo) and green (Hatch) comes from New Mexico. My mole recipe calls for four different kinds of chiles. I don’t feel any need to compete over the hotness of chiles, the old “quien es el mas macho” thing has never appealed to me. It is the flavor that is important, rather than the heat. Nor do I argue with people over who has the sweetest onions. I think it is what we grow up with. I grew up with Mexican food and though I appreciate cajun food, I eat Mexican food regularly; cajun food maybe a couple of times a year. On several occasions I have found the textures off-putting.
After each pill: Come on, ice cream!
prior to my beginning the cayenne the docs found ulcers in my throat and stomach. on a follow up endoscopy ( throat and stomach exam) the ulcers were ALL gone, so I know it is good for that end. it is probably good for the other end too.
I would google colitus, cayenne and see what comes up.
have a great day
What habanero-based hot sauce? Can you send me a link?
We used to love Cholula brand, but I think they changed their formulation to be more gringo-friendly some time back.
