Its not even black... look at it...carefully, skin is same color as
darkest of dark eggplants (brinjals in India) one could even do a
quick and easy paper chromatography of sorts... red, blue, green and
brownish color lines or rings would form ... just in water and may be
some alcohol added... I had left a few cross sections by mistake on a
table napkin.. not even a blotting paper... colors diffused out... did
not photograph it.. may be i should have ... but it was a few years
ago.. dont remember if it was before the digitals...
AGree with Balkarji... calling these chilli peppers, black pepper
implies the small round black peppers: piper nigrum...
