Oh! Right up my alley.
Thanks for posting this.
May be a dumb question but are there any reliable places to obtain capsules? I hate the thought of some of this being imported from China.
Local sellers of cayenne capsules or capsule blends off Amazon or eBay seem to be the way to go...!
Make sure it’s organic, NON GMO... try to contact the seller first.
Thanks!
My wife and I have eaten hot stuff for years, and by ‘hot stuff’, I mean ghost chiles, and now Scorpions and Carolina Reapers. Back the end of 2007, I had my first colonoscopy at the age of 59.
Afterwards the doctor said he had never seen a colon as ‘clean’ as mine, especially since I had never had one before. I had absolutely no polyps, no nothing, just ‘clean and smooth’ as the doctor said.
Told him it was probably because any polyps were regularly burned off and cauterized.
FWIW I don’t care for any of hot sauces, Tabasco, Frank’s, etc. All I taste is vinegar. I do however like Sriracha.
I used to make capsules for another herb but now I parachute my herbs. I don't think I would parachute red pepper though.
It’s my secret ingredient in my vegetable soup. You can use it in almost every recipe!
I love using cayenne in different recipes. I’ve never given thought to the health benefits. I made homemade tomato soup yesterday and added cayenne. It ads a nice mild kick to the soup!
It’s a fruit.
Good idea.
......when do you add the tomato juice?
*ADD...not AD.... !!!
I’ve been using cayenne for at least 30 years, love the stuff.
currently grow Tabasco and Habanero in the garden.
This year the Tabasco did really well, only got one Habanero plant to survive, all I got was a spice bottle about 2/3 full after dried and ground in a blender.
I use some variety of peppers on almost everything I make. Last night I opened a can of salmon, the last can I Had, heated it for a minute then put it in flour tortillas with sour cream and cheese, great stuff.
Had alfredo pizza the night before, put a liberal sprinking of Tabasco on that.
I dry my peppers in a home dehydrator then drop the dried peppers in a blender, turn it on and grind them down to powder and a few seeds here and there. Then put it in a empty spice bottle with shaker top, it goes on almost everything.
Since introducing Mrs. BCC to cayenne pepper, I think maybe the only thing she doesn’t put it on is her cereal, but that’s about it.
Cyan is blue and is quiet poisonous. Think cyanide.
You mean "cayenne," don't you?
You become acclimated to the burn and it doesn't seem hot anymore. I've always loved spicy foods and hot peppers myself, could eat jalapeños like pickles, they weren't hot at all. Now, I've had to cut jalapeños out because they cause me digestive distress. I can still have many other peppers that are actually hotter, so it's not the spice. Some say it's the seeds, implying that I'm developing diverticulosis. No indication of that in medical checkups, though. So, it's a mystery. Sort of miss the jalapeños. There are better peppers but those are so common and widely available, I'm having to bypass some very common and enjoyable foods such as most restaurant nachos.
How do you grow Tabasco and Habanero... I mean... did you just plant seeds from peppers you got in the market... or what? Cool info, thanks.
Your welcome... hoping Swordmaker’s doing okay, Lord bless him
You’re right.
