Black Pepper
"Black pepper provides zero calories and adds a lot of punch to meals," notes Elisa Zied, M.S., R.D., author of "Nutrition at Your Fingertips." But that's not all. Considered so precious in ancient times it was used as currency, black pepper has been valued for its culinary properties, which include enhancing flavor as well as preserving freshness. And capsaicin, the substance that gives pepper its heat, has anti-cancer effects and works to reduce inflammation, a root of chronic disease.
黑胡椒
“黑胡椒的卡路里含量為零,并且能加強(qiáng)菜品口味的沖擊力,”《讓營養(yǎng)在指尖綻放》的作者伊莉莎·基德·M·S·R·D指出。但這還不是黑胡椒的全部優(yōu)點(diǎn)。在古代黑胡椒曾一度被當(dāng)做流通貨幣,它的珍貴性可想而知。黑胡椒因其在烹飪上的奇妙屬性而受到重視,它可以在加強(qiáng)食物風(fēng)味的同時(shí)保持其鮮嫩的口感。黑胡椒含有大量辣椒素,所以吃起來感覺嗆口,辣椒素有抗癌的功效,并能減輕各種炎癥,從根本預(yù)防各種慢性疾病。
