A whole and
cross section of a red
bell pepper (pepper in the UK and capsicum elsewhere in the
Commonwealth). This
cultivar of
Capsicum annuum has a
recessive gene that eliminates the
capsaicin in the fruit. The pepper scores zero on the
Scoville scale, meaning it has none of the "heat" that other
chili peppers do.Photo credit:
