I have been trying to find this information online with no success. The seeds I am talking about are the ones in normal capsicums you might have at home (called just capsicum in Australia, called bell peppers in the US).
I know that the capsicum/bell pepper itself has a Scoville Rating of 0, but I am wondering about the seeds.
Any Chilli fans know this?

I perhaps should have mentioned that my friend accidentally left a seed in the cooking and when it got to his mouth, he thought it was extremely hot. That is why I ask.

All those saying they are ZERO - you have consumed the seeds or just the outside of the pepper/capsicum?

haha, okay I just ate one from a green one - I didn't taste anything. You can all go smack my friend, now! =D
Thanks for the answers!

they are not spicy at all. they are very mild, and the peppers are actually somewhat sweet.

Did the test seed come from a Red or Green Pepper? There's possibly a difference, depending whether the seed was mature or not...and it might make a difference if the seed is dried too.
Anyway, who was Scoville?

DaBomb's Final Answer is 1.5 million on the Scoville scale. One drop and I was rolling on the ground :3 Carolina Sauce company has it on sale at the moment, and I don't see any disclaimers saying they don't ship worldwide.

On your wiki site, its says Bell Peppers are a 0 on the scale.

If it is not significant enough to be listed on the scoville scale, then maybe they do not have any capsicum at all...?
