Bell peppers, on the other hand, are native to South America, where they have been cultivated for thousands of years. They come in a variety of colors, including green, red, yellow, and orange, and can be eaten raw or cooked.

Within the fruit, capsaicin is present in the placenta of the pepper, the white pith the seeds are attached to, which we call ribs or veins. To a lesser extent, it can also be found in the other fleshy parts of the fruit. Contrary to what you might believe, the seeds themselves do not produce any capsaicin.
