Bell peppers are the mildest of all peppers used in hot sauces and contain no heat.
Hot sauce gets its heat from a chemical in peppers called capsaicin. According to the Cosmic Chile, this chemical affects the nerve endings in the skin, particularly those in the mucus membranes. When a pepper with a high amount of capsaicin is eaten it can stimulate the mouth, nostrils, lips and eyes. The degree of capsaicin in a pepper, and the sauce made from it, determines its Scoville, or heat rating.
