Wrestleknownothing Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 27 times hotter than a habanero? I like spicy, but this is madness. Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plasmodium Posted October 17, 2023 Author Share Posted October 17, 2023 That is blistering hot. The color is unexpected. I can't wait to get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neutral Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I can't imagine enjoying that. I like spicy food, however that is a weapon of taste bud destruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ban Basketball Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I only eat peppers that have actual flavor. I do not get eating peppers just for the sake of the heat. Why? With that said, habaneros are conflicting for me, as they have among the best flavor, but I can't eat them because they're too hot for my palate.

neutral Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Habaneros need to be muted and balanced with something else. I like mango, and other fruits. Once diluted, the flavor becomes tolerable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrestleknownothing Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I have gone to habanero hot sauce on my tacos. Very small amounts, though that has increased over time. I cannot eat American tacos any other way now. For Mexican tacos it is still their roja sauce, but I am not sure what pepper is in that.

mspart Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 My wife's aunt made habenero jelly and my wife loves it. She made some herself and the house was hot!! It was a bit hotter than her aunt's but was still decent. I like hot, but can barely handle a jalapeno raw. I do #3 at the Thai restaurants and sometime #4. mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mspart Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Well, my wife's Aunts jelly was not hot. My wife overdid it with the habaneros, which you could smell through the house. The house smelled dangerous, really. I tried it and it was good, but I'm not much of a jelly guy. mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds hard: Classical breeding relies largely on homologous recombination between chromosomes to generate genetic diversity. The classical plant breeder may also make use of a number of in vitro techniques such as protoplast fusion, embryo rescue or mutagenesis (see below) to generate diversity and produce hybrid plants that would not exist in nature. 1 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threadkilla Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) This is a great series if you have not seen it. Sean Evans has famous people on that eat 8 hot wings that keep increasing the heat on the scoville scale. They presented the Guinness record on the show the other day and ate the pepper, looks very painful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUYtDA7j19c Edited October 18, 2023 by Threadkilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My roommate’s dad was a pretty well known wheat breeder. IP deal with Quaker. The answer: you take a flower from one plant and mash it into the flower, still on the stem, of another plant. Then you out a tiny little bag around it and mark it with a label, indicating “AB * XY” cross. Seeds result. You plant them, grow them out and take a DNA sample to verify they’re what you wanted. Cross them with each other, multiple generations, and eventually you have enough seed to sell.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
