Most pepper seeds are straw colored. The exception is Rocoto
seeds which are brown or black. Pink seeds are usualy treated
with chlorine or a fungicide (Thiram) or both. Just because they are
not pink does not mean they heve not been treated. I have some
seed varieties from France which are treated with Maliathon, an
insecticide, but are not pink.
