Pretty sure it can also be called the pith which is probably what he thought.

Jesus...
The pith/placenta/white shit is where the heat comes from, but the rest of the "berry" is also hot, and while cutting open the pepper, everything comes in contact with the pith, so everything gets an extra little coating of capsaicin.

There is significantly more capsaicin in the pith however and removal of it will greatly reduce how spicy the pepper will be.
>>9044136
it's more effective with a very sharp knife, cutting wide of the pith, preventing it from coming in contact with the rest of the pepper...
or, suffer through the deliciousness.
