Yes, you can eat the seeds out of a chili pepper, but the seeds (and the white strips inside the pepper) contain the heat. They won't hurt you or make you sick, but your mouth will be on fire!

the seeds are the hot part. If you like hot then go for it. I use the seeds in red chillies for cooking all the time.

Yes they are edible although not very easy to digest causing some sensitive people mild digestive problems. They are also the source of "heat" in the chili pepper, so if you like spice ---eat them. Most spicy curry pastes, salsas, dips....contain pureed & ground up chillies with the seeds & membranes (also where the "heat" can be found).

Yes, The membrane is the hot part it contains the oils and the seeds are coated in this oil so they have a bit to them also. The more seeds and membrane the hotter they are.

Ha ha...my cockatiel hasn't eaten chilli seeds yet my different parrot (he's a kakariki) ate a warm chilli, seeds and all in some unspecified time sooner or later. i do not comprehend even if or not they can experience the nice and cozy temperature or no longer yet quickly after, he had dunked himself thoroughly in his bath. He became thoroughly saturated. doesn't end him, even if. he's a nut.

Yes , but be careful as the seeds can be hot, if it is a hot pepper. You can even plant the seeds and grow your own veggies. I do it all the time.

You can eat the seeds but it will make everything hotter. The heat is in the seeds.
