Mixed, Hot Peppers
All hot peppers contain capsaicinoids, natural substances that
produce a burning sensation in the mouth,
causing the eyes to water and the nose to run,
and even induce perspiration.
Capsaicinoids have no flavor or odor, but act directly
on the pain receptors in the mouth and throat.
The primary capsaicinoid, capsaicin, is so hot
that a single drop diluted in 100,000 drops of water
will produce a blistering of the tongue.

All hot peppers belong to the Capsicum genus.
There are countless varieties and to add to the confusion,
there are usually several common names refering to one same type.
New varieties are constantly being "discovered".

Hot peppers have almost no calories, are high in vitamin C
and are essential in any fresh salsa, pickle or stir fry.
They become hotter after ripening and can be dried to be used later.
The seeds are the hottest part so take precautions
when removing them.

Sweet peppers are plump, bell-shaped vegetables featuring either
three or four lobes. They usually range in size from 2 to 5 inches
in diameter and 2 to 6 inches in length.
Inside the thick flesh is an inner cavity with edible bitter seeds
and a white spongy core. Bell peppers are not ‘hot’.
They contain a recessive gene which eliminates capsaisin,
the compound responsible for the ‘hotness’
found in other peppers.
