Spicy

Spicy foods, especially those with chillies, offer a rich mix of flavours, not just heat.

The chemical in chillies that makes them hot, called capsaicin, gives a warm feeling when you eat it. Different types of chillies can also add sweet, smoky, or fruity tastes to dishes.

Using chillies well can make food more exciting for both your taste buds and your sense of smell.
