=List of Spicy Foods= Almost everybody loves good old spicy foods, but not everybody knows a lot about them, such as how they are "spicy", or what different kinds of spicy foods are. So in this article, I will explain how spicy foods work, then give a giant list.

How Spicy Foods are Spicy
To get straight to the point, when a spicy food enters your mouth, lets say for example a habanero pepper, you bite into it. Normal Right? Well this is where it starts. As you bite into it, you bite into some veins running down the pepper filled with a chemical called Capsaicin(C18H27NO3), which then burst flooding your mouth with capsaicin. This capsaicin binds to your mucous membrane's TRVP1(heat) receptors, tricking them into feeling heat. The more the capsaicin, the more the burn. That is why a good old jalapeno won't cause sharp pain, but a drop of 9 million scoville extract just might. It is our body's natural reaction to sweat during heat, that is why if you eat something super hot, you start sweating, your nose starts running, and you feel thirsty. I am not going to get into the scoville scale, but if you want to, feel free to visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoville_scale
