Chili peppers are spicy due to a spice within the chili known as capsicum. Chilies that contain the botanical capsicum are high in vitamins C and A as well as carotenoids which is what provides the flavor. There are both mild and spicy chili peppers below are a few that are considered spicy/hot: * Scotch bonnet (popular in the West Indies) and has been called the hottest of all chilies * Annaheim (slightly hot) has a lot of flavor and richness * Cayanne
it contain capsycide which burns mammal taste buds, btw-birds cant feel it. its the plants protection.
it contains capsaicin it does not "burn" anything but it does stimulate pain receptors found in the mucus membranes of the mouth etc. (remember the burn you felt the next day after you had a particularly spicy dish) These receptors are called chemoreceptors and like the receptors for smells and taste (taste buds sense sweet salty, bitter, sour and some people think umami) are sensitive to chemicals in the environment Plants have capsaicin to limit the kinds of animals that eat the fruit (peppers), or perhaps to cause them to spit the seeds out a distance away from the plant thus dispersing the plant over further distances. Similar compounds are ginger (gingerol) black pepper (piperine) and surprisingly vanilla (vanilin) all have similar chemical structures. Isn't evolution a wonderful thing!
Maybe it is because of the nature around us.
spicy but yummy!
You put milk in it and it helps. Also it doesn't change the taste!!

Some people like their chili spicy, some like it mild. Chili gets it's name from the chili pepper that is used in making it. You can add different kinds of peppers to make it more spicy. Jalapino is common. Habanero is extremely hot. Add to taste.
actually chili itself is not spicy, it is the seeds, that is inside of it made the chili spice.

The most common characteristic of chili would be the spicy taste. The spiciness comes from chile or other hot peppers, although it can range from mild to extremely hot in flavor and heat.
