When a cook says this , they lose all credibility with me!

I watch cooking shows all the time and when I hear a cook say that they are going to leave the seeds in the pepper cause thats where all the heat is !!! I lose all respect for what he is saying .

pepper seeds have no heat as far as I know.

the membrane that holds the seeds packs a punch.
 
But you generally need to remove the seeds to remove the membrane and its just easier and nicer to say "remove the seeds" rather than say "remove the placental tissue" on a cooking show.
 
They're cooks, not scientists(no offense). Most of those cooking shows are worthless regardless.

I am not poison IVY but if I touch it I could have the same effect if someone rubs me. Seeds may not have heat but they are closest to what does. They might not contain heat, but they sure are LACED with it. ( kind of like frosted flakes laced with sugar lol
 
Either the capsaicin spreads all over the seeds, or they really are hot. I've eaten some seeds that made my tongue catch on fire locally.

I put chile seeds in with my birdseed to keep the squirrels away from the feeders, and it works quite well.

I love this idea! I'm going to have to try it too. Thanks Potawie, I never new that this would work. BTW by doing this, you don't notice that the birds then start craving hot peppers and thus begin robbing your plants?

I could be completely wrong here, but let's say bird seed is alcohol and birds are alcoholics why would they go for the O'Douls (pepper plants) :shocked:
 
Birds don't really taste the heat, so the seeds would likely just taste like regular seed and therefore no reason for addiction. I never really have a problem with birds eating my peppers, probably because I spoil them with so much other good stuff. Mice on the other hand have eaten a lot of my dried mild to medium peppers but usually leave the super-hotties alone.
