Collating data from various scientific publications, the article claims that, other than humans, tree shrews and birds are the only species that enjoy and seek out spice in their food.
Spicy foods derive their heat from a chemical called capsaicin. When eaten, it triggers a receptor known as TRVP1, which mimics symptoms of intense heat in the body.
Most animals avoid hot foods such as chilies, but not all. Tree shrews are native to forest environments in South East Asia, and scientists have discovered a genetic mutation in their TRVP1 receptors which decreases their sensitivity to capsaicin.
Birds have very few taste buds, and they are indifferent to the effects of capsaicin. Sprinkling some hot sauce on bird feeders is an effective way to repel other animals, such as squirrels, keeping birds well-fed.
Customers in the UK who have a taste for spicy food are encouraged to explore the range of hot sauce available from Mahi, online and in selected supermarkets.
Founded in 2008 in England, Mahi’s mission is to provide sauces and condiments that are both flavourful and healthy.
Each Mahi sauce is made with a unique blend that is free of preservatives, chemicals, and other artificial ingredients. Many of their products are suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
Customers can choose between marinades and sauces of different heat levels and in a wide variety of flavour combinations, including ‘Carolina Reaper & Pineapple’ and ‘Tamarind & Mango’, which won the prestigious Great Taste Award in 2019.
Mahi have been producing award-winning craft sauces and marinades for over a decade, supporting local farmers and using recyclable materials as part of their commitment to sustainability.
A satisfied customer said: “Flavour and heat revolution. Absolutely my favourite sauces. The flavours and the punch that the heat packs are incredible. I’ve been recommending them to all my friends; they love them too”.
