What is "pungency"?
Pungency refers to a strong, sharp, or intense sensation that is often perceived as a burning or prickling feeling in the mouth, nose, or throat. It is typically associated with certain foods, spices, or ingredients that have a sharp or spicy flavor profile. Foods with pungent flavors can stimulate the senses and add depth and complexity to dishes, but they can also be overpowering if used in excess. Pungency is often experienced as a temporary sensation that fades relatively quickly, leaving behind a lingering warmth or spiciness.
