It’s a good thing nobody had a camera on me upon my first (and only) encounter with a rather delicious yellow orange hab that I had grown....haha! It was extremely flavorful... I diced it up and put it into scrambled eggs. Didn’t even seem that hot at first. But it crept up on me and I suffered for HOURS later....and everywhere my hands, which burned like they were on fire, touched...it also burned like on fire. Live and learn, eh? LOL
My neighbor, a WWII vet, must have a stomach lined with steel to be able to handle the hot stuff at his age. Then again...maybe that’s the anti-aging secret. Who knew?
You cut up a hab WITHOUT wearing gloves??? Live and learn, indeed. As for your neighbor? Hot peppers have numerous health benefits...
