The second detail is actually a very well known use for capsaicin: natural pest repellent! Once a plant starts growing, things are not rosy and fine all the time. In fact, the growing process is tough and plants have to survive all types of hardships; from extreme weather conditions to natural predators and getting enough nutrients. What if you could erase one of those hardships? Capsaicin is a natural repellent for insects and even fungi, so the fruit is more likely to develop and mature as it should.

Not surprisingly, capsaicin can be found in the fruit of capsicums. Capsicum is the genus of plants producing the fruits we call ‘peppers’. The term Capsicum is derived from the Greek κάπτω (kapto), meaning “to gulp.” This morphed into Latin capsa, meaning ‘case’, referring to the fact that peppers hold seeds.
