Added a "citation needed".
I fixed, the statement, "Red pepper flakes are not made of one type of chili, but from various combinations of ancho, bell, cayenne and more.[citation needed]". Really though, whomever put the citation needed tag should have first looked at the references. It was there all along, meaning there was no need for a citation in the first place. In any case to placate said user, I added the repeated citation. MagnoliaSouth (talk) 14:48, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Misinformation about seeds
It takes about 30 seconds of searching to find out the seeds actually contain zero capsaicin other than what must have been transferred from the ribs of the pepper they were attached to. Furthermore, while this is irrelevant it is common to "seed a pepper" especially if you plan on cooking it because from personal experience if you slice up and fry a pepper without seeding it the seeds will burn and it is not a pleasant taste. That statement in the article should probably be reworded to something like "the seeds are widely misunderstood to contain the most spice" (also I wouldn't use "spice" but I think that is understandable to a lay person)

Maintenance tag
I added three additional sections to this page and addressed the missing citation that was needed so I went ahead and removed the maintenance tag. SterlingAC (talk) 01:27, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
