Why Is It Spicy?

Why is it spicy? We've talked about the four, sometimes five main tastes and all the flavors but what about spicy?  Should you keep the seeds in or remove them when using peppers? What is the best thing to eat to get relief? How does food get that awesome heat? The answer is capsaicin. Thanks so much for listening to Episode 27 of The Food For ThoughtCast where I talk about this and a whole lot more.  Find us in all the places where finer podcasts are served and don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe!
