Is it the seeds or the oil of jalepenos that make your mouth burn?!
Answers: It's both, however it is more concentrated in the seeds for most peppers, although there I have come across strains where the seeds have almost no capsaicin but the rest is hot, those are rare though.
seeds
the seeds
I think it's the whole thing in general
It's the seed and the soft white pith the seeds are attached to. That pith is thick at the top of the pepper, and usually runs down the length of the pepper in a few stripes.
The capsicain is more highly concentrated in those parts. It has nothing to do with oil.
Get some disposable plastic gloves and wear one on each hand. Cut the jalapeno open and remove the seeds and cut the white vein off. That removes most of the heat.
It is technically the seeds, but the oil contributes as well.
It's the seeds. I watch a lot of cooking shows and they had this on yesterday. Without the seeds the pepper is still spicy but much milder than before.
seeds and some skins are hot as well, so I guess both.
seeds! i like 2 chew on the spicy seeds like gum and i drink the juice!
IT'S THE WHITE PITH THAT THE SEEDS ARE ATTACHED TO. YOU DON'T WANT TO EAT THE SEEDS ANYWAY THEY ARE BAD FOR YOUR DIGESTIVE SYSTEM CLEAN THOSE BAD BOYS OUT OF THERE AND TAKE THE WHITE PITH OUT ALSO UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR MOUTH TO BE ON FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
