What is it?Capsaicin; The name may sound scientific or even a bit intimidating, but it's actually just the name for the chemicals that give your hot peppers their "spice'. Its bite can be terribly painful for humans and other mammals, but birds digest it without affect. Due to this fact, one modern day use of capsaicin in the form of cayenne is in birdfeed.Squirrels are well known for their

What is it?Allicin is one of the primary healthful chemical components of garlic. One unique factor about allicin is it isn't present naturally in garlic, only through chopping or crushing the garlic does the enzyme allinase convert the chemical alliin into allicin.Allicin isn't very stable and degrades very quickly in heat. Generally the better crushed a clove is, the more flavor and allicin
