    If you haven't already, try eating Sichuan Peppercorns! They're not peppers and their kind of spice has a special name in Chinese. It numbs your mouth and has become pretty popular.

    As a grower of peppers, my experience is the greener, the hotter, not the other way around. Probably because the seeds are not mature yet and so they are not ready to be dispersed until then. I have experienced this with jalapeños, seranos, tabascos, pequin peppers, and Thai chilies; especially the Thai. Of course in 2011, I discovered that drought also concentrates the heat (and the flavor).

    • @Wingedshadowwolf
      @Wingedshadowwolf Před 28 dny +2

      On the flip side. I had a Thai pepper plant kept indoors over winter in my cool house with plenty of water and they ended up being not hot at all!😅

    • @Kaotiqua
      @Kaotiqua Před 28 dny +2

      It depends on the pepper. Color's not really a good gauge. For example, she ate the cayenne pepper green. A green cayenne pepper's not ripe, and it's going to be considerably milder that way.

    • @opliko
      @opliko Před 28 dny +2

      This is a common pepper myth, that the seeds are the hottest part, but that is fully incorrect. The spiciest part of a pepper is the pith, the white connecting parts between the seeds and the placenta

    They ate the cayenne green, and then were surprised that it wasn't very hot. That's because it was unripe, _and_ undried. A ripe cayenne pepper is red, not green, and they're typically used dried, whether you grind them to powder or not. So no, a green cayenne pepper's not going to be anywhere close to its normal heat.

    I've got a bottle of rum I steeped a Carolina Reaper in. It's nearly undrinkable. It should be treated like a bitters in a very sweet and fruity cocktail.
    It took me nearly 6 months to work up the courage to try it. I put a shot of it in some Blood Orange juice and sneezed as I went to take a sip because of the spice. I then blended simple syrup, ice, and peaches, along with more blood orange juice, the final cocktail was a half gallon and drinkable, I then added more rum to bring the abv back up and drank it over the following week.
