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, and age.

Capsicums is known to have anti-inflammatory and pain relief properties, and has been used to treat conditions including skin rashes, stomach ache and arthritis.
