Capsicums are known for their pungent flavour in food, due to a plant chemical called capsaicin.

Interestingly, this is the chemical used in pepper spray for law enforcement.

Levels of capsaicin in capsicums will vary depending on a range of factors such as weather, growing conditions, & age.

It is also commonly used in mucle rub-down creams to help alleviate pain.
