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为零,并且能加强菜品口味的冲击力,”《让营养在指尖绽放》的作者伊莉莎·基德·M·S·R·D指出。但这还不是黑胡椒的全部优点。在古代黑胡椒曾一度被当做流通货币,它的珍贵性可想而知。黑胡椒因其在烹饪上的奇妙属性而受到重视,它可以在加强食物风味的同时保持其鲜嫩的口感。黑胡椒含有大量辣椒素,所以吃起来感觉呛口,辣椒素有抗癌的功效,并能减轻各种炎症,从根本预防各种慢性疾病。
