Jalepenos are spicy because they contain capecium. Jalepenos have, on average, 11 mg of capecium in each cup of sliced pepper.

Jalapeño Peppers are plants and those that are spicy use their spiciness as a defense mechanism against predation. ... The main chemical component that makes peppers spicy is capsaicin; which binds to special heat-sensing receptors on our tongue.
