capsicum is actually the oil that is found in hot peppers.it can vary in intensity.the capsicum is measured in scovill units,the higher the amount of units the hotter the pepper will be.a sweet pepper is 0 while a habanero pepper can be 30000 units or higher. the capsicum is usally found in the walls of the seed pod in a hot pepper,that is why it is recommend that you wash your hands or wear gloves when handling a habenaro, cayenne, or jalapeno type of pepper.It will be very unplesent to touch your eyes and parts of your self after handling very hot types of peppers.
