Clever capsicum chopping hack for doing away with mess

Tired of finding rouge capsicum seeds in the kitchen long after you’ve cooked with it? Next time try this trick to virtually eliminate any mess. 

Shared on TikTok, this “tried and tested” hack for cutting up capscicum has gone viral – and for good reason. 

Grace, a nurse from the UK, shows how she turned the capsicum (which she calls a 'pepper', of course) upside down, and – using a sharp knife – cuts a simple cross in the bottom.

She then pulls the four sections apart, which leaves the large seeded centre behind, making it easy to dispose of.

In the comments she added: "Easy way to chop them without getting seeds everywhere”.

"Literally! Life-changer."
