Spicy foods are dishes that contain ingredients known for their heat or pungency, primarily derived from spices and seasonings such as chili peppers, black pepper, mustard, and various other spices. The heat level of spicy foods is often measured using the Scoville scale, which quantifies the spiciness based on the concentration of capsaicin, the compound responsible for the burning sensation in chili peppers. Spicy foods are widely appreciated in various cuisines around the world, where they enhance flavor and can stimulate the appetite. Spicy ingredients can also offer health benefits, such as increased metabolism and improved circulation.
