If you pick them before they are ready, they are not hot. I have 2 cayenne plants and I wanted to see the differences in taste between the ones that were ready( long like 3 inches) and the ones that were not as ready( 1-2 inches)
The smaller ones tasted like a bell pepper. I guess, the hotness does not happen until they mature, at least in this variety of pepper.------------------

So animals could eat them young (the heat is a defense). IP: Logged |

Good point. YES
The non mature ones taste like bell peppers, on the cayenne plant anyway ------------------

This is interesting too, Randall. I picked about 5 peppers from my plant( now tree ) and all were kind of mild and one practically killed me. The degrees of heat are different in different ones, irrespective of size, too.I am so used to hot peppers like cayenne is like nothing. I have a habanero plant and they make my eyes water.

The redder they get, the higher the heat index. For example, green bell peppers are red pepper that haven't fully ripened yet. IP: Logged |

Thanks Yin
Today I ate a fully ripe habanero. I usually get them when they are small but this one grew before my greedy hands could pick it. It was sooo hot that finally I met a pepper which outdid me ------------------

This was really interesting. I have been eating the habanero peppers when they are small because I was not sure how big they were supposed to get. I missed one that got very big like 2 inches around.I ate it today and it was so hot that I got tears running down my face. I loved it ------------------

Today, I ate two peppers from the habenero plant and they were small. They were like bell peppers.
This pepper has to get to be about 2 inches around.------------------

I ate some kind of a pepper one time on a dare, and I thought my heart would stop! I ate some sugar to stop the burn. IP: Logged |

Today, I panicked. I ate a full grown habanero and it was so hot that I didn't know what to do.
Then, it went to my stomach and I thought I was going to throw up  I prayed and the heat passed in about 5 minutes. On the little tag, it said this pepper is the hottest in the world but I don't think that can be right cuz there are trinadad scorpions and others which are hotter. Maybe, it is the hottest variety of habanero.
Does sugar help? ------------------

Did not know that. I wonder why milk helps. What do you think, Randall?

Not sure. Probably a chemical reaction. And it coats.

Yes, makes sense
I didn't know that if you take the seeds out, the pepper is not as hot.

I've read it's the seeds in peppers that makes them hot. So maybe the young ones have not developed seeds inside them yet? and that's why they are not hot?IP: Logged |

When I make salsa I take the seeds out of the jalapenos, because I like a more mild salsa, although i do give it a little zip with cayanne powder and hot sauce. (and there is a little spiciness to the jalapeno itself, but its the seeds that really give peppers their heat)IP: Logged |
