What causes jalapenos to produce a spicy sensation?
Answers:
It's the Capsaicin found in the white inner membrane when you cut the chile in half. The seeds are not, contrary to popular belief, what gives chile pepppers their heat. It is the membrane inside that contains tiny veins. People take out the seeds because it makes presentation of the salsa or whatever you are making look better. You can also leave them in but remember these do not add/remove heat.
