Some foods are thought to
boost energy, while others are thought to improve memory. Aphrodisiac foods
have a slightly different effect - these foods might actually make your heart
flutter! This February 14th, celebrate the 'Feast of Saint Valentine' with foods that
are named after the Greek goddess of sexuality and love. Why not avoid
the mad dash to overcrowded restaurants and prepare these suggestive
aphrodisiac dishes with your Valentine's Day sweetheart at home instead?
Aphrodisiac Appetizer
Fresh Figs with Goat
Cheese and Almonds
The aroma of almonds
supposedly arouses passion in women. In fact, the nut has long been a symbol of
fertility. Start the night off right with an appetizer that combines almonds
with figs, a second powerful aphrodisiac that the ancient Greeks associated
with passion and love. With 153 calories per two figs, Relish’s Fresh Figs w/ Goat Cheese and Almonds recipe will create a sensual eating experience and
also please your taste buds.
Dinner Full of
Desire
Broiled Oysters with
Garlic-Buttered Breadcrumbs & Grilled Asparagus
Oysters have long been
thought to be an aphrodisiac. This low-calorie shellfish also means the
pleasure of oysters can be enjoyed guilt-free. Combine oysters with
garlic's supposed sexual suggestiveness and you'll enjoy a main dish sure to
inspire feelings of true love this Valentine's Day. Try Cooking Light's Broiled Oysters recipe, with just 134 calories and 2 grams of bad
fat per 4 oysters serving. Bon’App recommends serving the dish with a
side of grilled asparagus, a vegetable packed with vitamins and claimed
by Nicholas Culpepper to "stir up lust in men and women".
Decadent Dessert
Triple Chocolate Cake
When you win your
significant other’s sweet tooth with this indulgent chocolate dessert, you'll
also win their heart. What’s more, some evidence suggests the good mood feeling you get from eating
chocolate is not just psychological. Chocolate contains phenylethylamine,
a stimulant released in the brain when people fall in love. Whether you
enjoy it for the delectable taste, or its aphrodisiac properties, end your
Valentine's dinner with a slice of Triple-Chocolate Cake, and indulge in creamy milk chocolate mousse
sandwiched between intense chocolate flavored cake layers. With cocoa,
bittersweet and milk chocolate, your taste buds will fall
head-over-heals in love. The recipe uses low-fat milk and egg whites, which cuts down the calories to 240 per slice. It's okay to indulge, but if your worried about the battery impact, simply share a piece with your Valentine.
Although there is no biological evidence showing these foods are aphrodisiacs. They are still known to possess aphrodisiac qualities because these foods provide placebo effect. Whenever you eat any of these foods, it will get you to think about sex.click here
