I've heard different reasons, but i think the true one is because the spice is a poison, which the fat in milk helps to lift off of your tongue, bread will help too, but water just runs over it
Yes, drinking milk does help your fiery mouth after eating a jalapeno pepper.
If you mean the burning sensation caused by green chili peppers then drinking milk or yogurt will help best (assuming the burn is in your mouth). The capsaicinoids that cause the burning sensation are washed off the pain receptors by milk much better than by water.
Milk will usually neutralize the spice from any pepper. Water does not help at all because the pepper contain oil and the water will just roll off of the oil.
If pepper spray gets in your mouth, it can cause intense burning, irritation, and difficulty breathing. To treat it, rinse your mouth with cold water, drink milk or a milk-based product to help neutralize the effects, and seek medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen. Do not drink water or try to induce vomiting, as this can make the burning sensation worse.
try apple juice No, don't try that. It might actually make it worse. The best things for getting pepper tastes out of your mouth are things such as milk and rice. Anything with any acidity at all will simply make it worse, so try to find rather plain things to eat. I discovered that broccoli also helps a lot. Hedleygb adds: I am very sensitive to pepper, and discovered years ago that papper (chili included) is not soluble in water, but is soluble in fat. Milk, cream, yoghurt, all these will halp a lot. How about mashed potatoes?
because we say that the oil cannot be mix with water, The chili has CAPSAICIN that produce oil the one that can stopped the oil in our mouth is MILK or BREAD because its absorbs the oil to our mouth ..
drinking milk
To 'cool' the spice of chili peppers, garnish generously with sour cream or yogurt, or serve with a glass of milk.
milk
Eat some fresh bread and have a glass of milk. Both will help, the bread will absorb the lemon oils and the milk will help neutralize the acid.
Bread and milk help, just not water!
If you get pepper spray on your lips, it will feel like like your lips are burning. Wash your lips well, but gently, and then wipe gently with milk on a wash cloth or hold the wash cloth to your lips. The milk will help to "neutralize" the effect. An even better remedy if you have them on hand is banana, just smear some on your lips and wipe off when the burning stops, it works quickly and well when your mouth or lips are burning from the capsaicin in the chile.
