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, & age.
It is also commonly used in muscle rub-down creams to help alleviate pain.
Along with the above properties capsicums are a good source of Vitamin C, & contain carotenes & B vitamins.
Capsicums are known to have anti-inflammatory & pain relief properties, and have been used to treat conditions including skin rashes, stomach ache & arthritis.
