Did you know that peppers, the name given to the plant and its fruit, all have their spiciness in common? Indeed, the pungent flavor of peppers is due to a common molecule, capsaicin. But not all peppers have the same degree of spiciness. They are rated on the Scoville scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being mild and 10 being extremely hot, based on their capsaicin content.
Did you know that peppers are native to Central America? Indeed, archaeological finds have traced the earliest traces of chili peppers back 7,000 years in Mexico.
