Ohhh of course cuppatea, I should have remembered that!! LOL. But I didn't know the yams thing. Hannah has some flashcards with a picture of yam on them (for the letter Y) and it looked like some root vege to me but I couldn't work it out LOL. Our 'normal' kumara is red - and that just looked like a massive potato ]]> Sun, 21 Oct 2007 19:30:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11678&PID=233005&title=eating-capsicum-seeds#233005 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11678&PID=232988&title=eating-capsicum-seeds#232988 Author: cuppatea

Hi, as far as I know new zealand are the only country that call sweet peppers capsicum, so your search of capsicum will give you results for the small hot chilli type peppers and not sweet peppers.
Just for trivia, what nz call kumura are actually yams to most of the rest of the world, and what nz calls yams are something else (can't remember the name).
Hehehe is a strange old world we live in]]> Sun, 21 Oct 2007 18:56:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11678&PID=232988&title=eating-capsicum-seeds#232988 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11678&PID=232970&title=eating-capsicum-seeds#232970 Author: busymum

They are not hot unless from a hot capsicum. I don't think they can be absorbed by the body so she'll poo them out but don't think they are harmful otherwise.]]> Sun, 21 Oct 2007 17:42:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11678&PID=232928&title=eating-capsicum-seeds#232928 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11678&PID=232922&title=eating-capsicum-seeds#232922 Author: busymum

Yes that's what my 2yo did tonight while I was piling on a pizza. What are they like? A google search indicates that they are not poisonous (as I had been earlier lead to believe) but are they hot like chilli?????

From the net: "Capsicum annuum: Christmas Pepper, Pepper Plant, Red Pepper - Fruit and seeds contain high concentrations of capsaicin which irritates mucous tissue. If eaten, they will cause a painful burning sensation in mouth and throat. If juice comes in contact with the yes, painful inflammation may result."

She doesn't seem to be complaining yet although I have given her a drink of water and some chicken to eat now.
