heart of jalapeno

franzb69 gave ma a jalapeno pod last week. kaept it in the vegetable compartment inside the fridge then last night when I decided what to do with it, I sliced it lengthwise and was surprised to what I saw inside. There is a little heart shape (more like a corn kernel) flesh developing inside the jalapeno!

is this a rare occurrence? sorry for the crappy pic quality. my canon was broken so I'm stuck with my old crappy phone-cam quality digicam.
 
i have seen this kind of formation many times in sweet bell peppers :) another small bell pepper in a pepper :)
