The endorpine rush that you get when U eat them is so amazing ! also made sum real good salsa that was out of this world ! So do U like them and do ya know any good recipes using em ?

"Several growers have attempted to selectively breed habanero plants to produce hotter, heavier, and larger peppers. The Naga Jolokia is a chili that has a very high Scoville rating that reaches up to 1,041,365 and is often mistaken for a cultivar of the habanero pepper, although it is actually its own species. Most habaneros will rate between 200,000 and 300,000 Scoville units."

I love peppers, all kinds really. I used to grow Habañero, Jalapeño, Hungarian Wax/Banana (my fave to stuff and can), sweet and hot cherry peppers, Serrano's, and Scotch Bonnets.

Peppers are cool

We grow all kinds of peppers

You know I am not sure exactly how TR processed ( sweet, pickled-plain ) these as I wasn't home that weekend - I'll ask him when he comes home in another week ... they are HOT as Hell I know that much

Mach said:

They certainly look like the old ring piece would suffer the day after

we used to stuff our Hungarian hot wax and can them in an olive oil mixture with spices..

Spicy things

Love them!

Love the spicy stuff

I have heard it is good for your metabolism as well.
I hate that I get the hiccups from peppers though.

I'm not sure because they don't have them where I live in the EU, but I think these are the peppers you need to make traditional Jamaican jerk paste. Lawd Hammercy talk about a marinade so delicious for chicken , those peppers will TEAR YOU UP but the combined seasoning has an addictive effect like crack

shanti0608 said:

yup, i heard that about it speeding up your metabolism as well
and from time to time I will get the hiccups too

veronikka said:

you do? Everyone laughs at me, as soon as I swallow something with a hot pepper in it I get the hiccups.

shanti0608 said:

it's got to be really spicy for me to get the hiccups but yes there are times it will happen and they're loud too

i love hot chillis. i had a whole jar of jalapeno peppers yesterday..



the hotter the better

I bought some Habanero salsa once... interesting experience

I love hot stuff. but i've never had any habanero peppers before. I'm kinda scared

heybaby said:

They are very very HOT

Mach said:

okay i've been warned. but like the aries I am I'm gonna try it when given the opportunity anyway


with itty bitty bites

Mach said:

Please get back with me and let me know how they R done looks real good ! The morning after eating habaneros is nothing nice,the experince the night B 4 is worth the pain though and the metabolism thang sounds reasonable ! I know that it gives ya on hell of a endorphine rush !

heybaby said:

Get the salsa. That way you can cut the hotness with chips

Janfriend said:

Do you remember what kind it was ?
