It may be a genetic thing like cilantro tasting like soap to some people.
I get most of my vit. C from peppers and tomatoes. Peppers give meaning to life, and breakfast isn't complete without chipotle (smoked jalapenos) on my eggs in the morning.
Of course, they also remind me to pray when I take a seat on that ceramic throne. ;)

I have several Chili Piquin plants that were volunteers. I harvest the peppers and put them in vinegar for use on salads.
