Les piments sont des variétés de baies de plantes du genre Capsicum, qui font partie de la famille des solanacées, cultivées pour leur piquant. Les piments sont largement utilisés dans de nombreuses cuisines comme épice pour ajouter du « piquant » aux plats. La capsaïcine et les composés apparentés connus sous le nom de capsaïcinoïdes sont les substances qui donnent aux piments leur intensité lorsqu'ils sont ingérés ou appliqués localement. Les piments présentent une gamme de piquants et de saveurs. Cette diversité est la raison pour laquelle il existe différents types de paprika et de poudre de chili, chacun offrant son propre goût et son propre niveau de piquant.
