Chili peppers contain a compound called capsaicin, which binds to receptors in the mouth that detect heat and pain, creating a sensation of spiciness. When consumed, capsaicin triggers the release of endorphins, which can produce a pleasurable sensation despite the initial burning feeling. Additionally, capsaicin may boost metabolism and promote feelings of fullness, contributing to its popularity in various cuisines.
