I have yet to hear of anyone dying from eating habaneros, oh, they're hot alright, but they sure add a zing to food.
Fine by me. There's nothing worse than what might be a good bowl of chili that's impossible to eat because of the heat.
He's working on the health benefits of capsaicin by developing a pepper that has almost none?
There are plenty of mild peppers out there. Why spend money developing a mild version of the hottest pepper?
Sounds like more wasted research $$$$$$
Heh-heh - mild is still too hot for Minnesotans!
Isn’t “mild habanero” an oxymoron?
You gotta be careful, though. One time I had some to my side along with some other, mild peppers. While reading something, I reached over and instead of getting the milder pepper, I got a habaneros and bit down.
I thought I was going into cardiac arrest.
P.S. The antidote is bread covered with much butter or margarine and a big glass of milk.
This is pure and unadulterated Sacrilege! CRAP!
I mean WTF!!!!
Make the Yucatan Habanero Hotter - not milder!!
Mamby-pamby "oh-I-can't-eat-it-'cause-it's-tooooooo-hot" weenies should just make their own stuff.
Waaaaaaaaaaaa
The hotterer, the betterer.
Tare your eyes out, rip your teeth out hot. So hot it burns you twice hot. So hot you wish you could apply the ice-cream directly to your butt after eating it hot. Mid-day, high noon sun on Mercury hot.
THere! HOT - not mild.... HOT.
Philistines!
The plants were still producing and flowering when the first frost hit. With a longer growing season I would have had many more.
By dehydrating the peppers I take out of them the only part that isn't hot (the water). It takes about 600 peppers to make a quart of dried flakes. I use them in chili and a few other things and the trick is MODERATION..
I still have about a quart of flakes left and if anyone wants some FReepmail me your address and I'll mail you a sample. It's free, I'll even spring for the postage.
Eating hot peppers is an acquired skill. There was a time when even a slice of a jalapeno would send me running for a glass of water (which doesn't help but that's your natural reaction). Now I regularly eat 6 or more whole jalapenos at a sitting. One of my favorite meals is steak tips, with cheese and sauteed onions and jalapenos wrapped up in tortillas.
I've tried the habeneros but they just cause too much pain. I suppose if I were a maschochist, I'd stick with them until I got used to them (like the jalapenos), but no thanks.
Title should be "PC crowd attacks peppers!!"
400,000 Scoville units? Pikers - try 7.1 million. For all my "Romulan Chili" needs, I go straight to The Source.
(Not an advertisement - just the most insanity ever collected in a bottle).
Jeeeez! I grew up in South Texas. I put habanero in my eggs for breakfast. What is this guy's problem?
Pepper ping.
