When the seeds are exported to other countries, their flavor profile can change and will result in a sweet, milder chili. Mexican food and flavors are also regional; in Ycatan, the food is not as spicy, and in many cases throughout Mexico the spiciness comes from the salsa.

Now popular desserts are Mexican egg custard and sweet milk curds cooked in syrup. Before sugar came around, their natural fruits were dessert.
