If you were to pick a berry and feel a burning sensation then you would think it was poisonous and leave it alone. But the ancient people that lived there were clever I guess and realised the burning sensation is just a deception of poison.
Chili peppers don't just give you a burning sensation, they trip off all the tastes in your tongue and nose, Sweet, Salt, Savoury and so forth. When you become desensitised to the heat feeling you are left with a nice taste of everything. They also contain very high levels of vitamins.
How did the ancient people do it?
