They are used as a [[spice]] to add [[pungency]] (spicy heat) in many cuisines. [[Capsaicin]] and the related [[Capsaicin#Capsaicinoids|capsaicinoids]] give chili peppers their intensity when ingested or [[topical application|applied topically]]. Chili peppers exhibit a range of heat and flavors. This diversity is the reason behind the availability of different types of [[chili powder]], each offering its own taste and heat level.
