Pungent description |
---|
Pungency is the condition of having a strong, sharp smell or flavor that is often so strong that it is unpleasant. For example, the pungent smell of a dirty animal. Pungency is the technical term used by scientists to refer to the characteristic of food commonly referred to as spiciness or hotness and sometimes heat, which is found in foods such as chili peppers. * The term piquancy () is sometimes applied to foods with a lower degree of pungency that are "agreeably stimulating to the palate." Examples of piquant food include mustard and curry. |
