Hot Chile Pepper Images
These are pics of some super hot chile peppers that I've been processing at home recently. Below is a semi ripe trinidad scorpion pepper going through a beautiful color change.
Processing hot peppers can be fun but you need to get prepared if you're handling large quantities of super hots. I wear latex gloves to prevent skin burn and if you're running a food dehydrator for any length of time it can be a good idea to wear some kind of breathing mask or filter.
I always remove the seeds (not necessarily all of them) to use for future planting. The seeds need to be freed from the placenta then dried a little. Store them in a cool, dark place after drying and they should be good for planting for a year or more.
