These dishes will excite you
Say wine, snacks or haute cuisine and the gourmands at online food magazine FavorFlav know where to drink, how to eat it and what to cook. This time our cheffies serve you: These dishes will get you excited.
Naturally, you are a sexy beast that is always on. I get it. But yes, sometimes you've worked hard all day, you're tired, or you have a headache, I understand that too. Then eat one of these things to bring out your inner flirt.
Fenugreek
During a study men were given 600 milligrams of fenugreek extract daily for a period of six weeks. Guess what? They reported being more sexually aroused and having more orgasms. Bring on that Indian chicken curry with fenugreek.
Celery
We don't think it's the sexiest vegetable, but it contains a lot of aldosterone, a male hormone that excites women. Celery with hummus is fine, but if you also want to charm your date a bit, you better go for this duck breast with celery .
Saffron
Men experience better erections, women become more aroused and have an extra wet flute. Enough reason to eat risotto Milanese tonight.
Chili pepper
Chili pepper stimulates the production of endorphins (that substance that makes you feel happy), makes your heart literally beat faster, and makes you sweat. That's how you feel when you're excited, according to Meryl S. Rosofsky in The New York Times. Very nice: it doesn't matter what dish you eat, as long as you serve a generous spoonful of chili sauce with it. What do you think, quickly make these Thai fish or crab cakes with chili sauce .
Seaweed
The green strands contain a lot of iron, calcium, and iodine and are aphrodisiac. Next time you order sushi, just get an extra bowl of seaweed salad. Or make these tacos for poke lovers.
Pistachios
You do need to eat a lot of them: 100 grams of pistachios daily for three weeks, as in this study, but then you will have more blood flow to the penis and thus stronger erections as a man. Do you think Nadia and Merijn had that in mind when they developed the recipe for this pistachio semolina cake with meringue ?
Oysters
And oysters then? They have a reputation as the ultimate aphrodisiac, but is that true? Yup. The high zinc content in the slimy snack leads to a increased testosterone and sperm production. I'm immediately looking for the next oyster happy hour with these delicious oysters.
