What is the hottest part of a pepper?

Question

Which part, i.e. (skin, seeds, ect.) tastes the hottest when eaten?

Answer 1

The seeds actually aren't that hot! Capsaicin is the stuff that makes peppers spicy. It is concentrated in the veins and pulp of along the sides of the pepper (not the seeds - they actually contain a very small amount of capsaicin) and stimulates the nerve endings in your mouth, fooling your brain into thinking you're in pain.

Answer 2

Hottest Part Of A Pepper

Answer 3

The capsaicin (what makes a pepper hot) is concentrated in the placenta of the pepper (blister like sacs along the pepper's inner wall) to which the seeds are attached. A smaller amount is found in the veins or white lines running from the top of the pepper to the bottom. The seeds contain only a small portion of capsaicin. So, contrary to popular belief, THE SEEDS ARE NOT THE HOTTEST PART.

Seeds

Answer 5

Are the seeds the hottest part?
