We've all heard before that things such as oysters and asparagus can act as love potions.
However, a food scientist with the International Food Technologists says that isn't exactly true.
Kantha Shelke, spokesperson for IFT says that aphrodisiacs are foods that do three things: excite your senses, open your blood vessels, and make you feel comfortable and focused.
Foods that are warm to the touch, colorful, and full of robust flavors are the true signs of an "aphrodisiac."
Shelke lists pumpkin pie and bananas as surprising aphrodisiacs.
She also says that sticking to healthy foods and not drinking too much alcohol are good ways to achieve an aphrodisiacal effect.
