How and when do you teach your kids to take spicy food? None of my kids like spicy and living in Singapore, I really hope they can grow to like spicy foods.

I have read that we can introduce spicy food to even 6 months old baby. I think there is no strict rule to when you can introduce spicy taste to your kids. Even during infant stage, baby can be exposed to strong taste in breastmilk if mommies take in a lot of spicy food. This also help to exposure baby to wider range of tastes. I think it's good to expose kids to wide range of tastes as young as possible so that they will grow to be more accepting to different tastes. You can start to introduce spicy food to your kids now. Maybe can start by mixing garlic paste into their purée or food as garlic is milder & has many health benefits. http://m.livescience.com/36487-babies-spicy-food-introducing-solids-spices.html
