RE: Hot pepper flash update!
Oh forgot to mention. I got some reapers with the batch as well.
They must really vary in heat though as it was not nearly what I expected of over 1 mil Scoville units.
If I had to guess, it was 750k tops. Bet there are certain tricks to get them really producing a lot of capsaicin. Unfortunately my reapers didn't produce this season.
Think my dog has been harassing them. I put some pepper spray in my planter in hopes that will deter them. I think he likes eating leaves sometimes. He's a strange one.
Some people eat pepper leaves in Korea. It is nice with soy sauce and vinegar, especially newer leaves.
I have plenty of pepper leaves that's for sure. I wonder which species is best with Soy sauce and vinegar.
I think the reapers and ghost peppers are similar. I was not even sure they would be hot as this is the first year growing them. Damn impressed with the heat to the point of considering only adding one to my sauce so it is edible. Then I will give some ghosthabanero sauce to @parabyte and burn his ass off. ;)
