Sweet or Hot

"Sweet" and "hot" are terms used to describe the flavor profiles of foods, especially in the context of peppers and spicy dishes. "Sweet" indicates a flavor that is sugary, fruity, or mellow, providing a pleasant, mild taste. "Hot" refers to spiciness or heat originating from compounds like capsaicin, which activate nerve receptors and produce a sensation of heat or burning. These terms help convey the overall flavor experience; some foods may be both sweet and hot, offering a complex blend of sugar-like sweetness and fiery heat.
