One might say the heat is insane in the membrane.

- I know this is 2012, but thank you for dispelling the 'hot seed' myth. Kudos!

I learned this fact from the guy who created the Carolina reaper. Never knew that and it’s crazy because EVERYBODY says this. I believed it for years myself.

They are great for blending with habaneros to make hot sauce.

Weird... The ones I get are always thicker walled than jalapenos and also hotter.

Hey I’m from Fresno county and I was wondering if u could maybe do a history lesson on the Fresno chili’s I never knew about them until 2015 or 2016 when I was living in Sanger I had a beer that was brewed with them and it was inspired by Juan I don’t recall his last name but from what my mentor told me the guy went around killing white ppl in the area once California was bough by the U.S. and the Mexican ppl that lived there had to move. He was a hero to his ppl but to the U.S. a monster the king of France wanted him dead to and order for his head to be brought back as prove he was dead. And that’s what happened. And the reason it took them so long was because he would hind in the dead big red woods in Yosemite.
