Why? It appears to me that they are so small there would be a lot of waste. Not much to eat after you clean them.

My Mom bought those pickled. When i got to eat lunch with my Dad, I made myself eat one for one, for every one he ate. Ahh, good times. Hot yet delish!

Some companies list these as an F1 Hybrid seed. So you would probably not want to save seeds to replant because they would not grow the same peppers as the original.

Believe it or not, being an F1 hybrid isn't as big an obstacle to saving seed as a lot of people think. Some things will come true from seed, even though they are labeled F1. And others (most, in fact) will produce useful food, even if it isn't exactly the same as the F1 parents. People have used F1's for breeding purposes for a long time -- play with it, and see if you get something you like that works well in your garden.

I'm probably not going to get these seeds, only because daughter and I both have auto-immune diseases, and nightshades, especially peppers, cause auto-immune flares (we can eat small amounts of potato and tomato, but peppers -- no). But if we could eat them, I'd be tempted. I like the flavor of some hot peppers, but we don't like a lot of heat.

At a party once a lady thought she was popping a cherry tomato into her mouth, but it was a little hot pepper. She quickly grabbed what she thought was a glass of water to put out the fire in her mouth, but it was whiskey. :ecrz:

When we lived in Malta, there was a Thai pepper plant in a pot in the courtyard, which had been planted by the landlord. One evening we had a bunch of friends over and Mizz Walrus had picked some of those little red peppers to use for decorating some kind of cottage cheese dish, as I recall.

Anyway, this British girl grabbed one and popped it into her mouth and bit down before I could catch her. :eek: I spent the rest of the evening giving her glasses of milk and slices of bread to get the fire out of her mouth. :xpnd: Poor girl .... it was probably the first hot pepper she'd ever tasted. And the last LOL

When my girls were in high school, one of their male friends was at the house. My ex had raised some Thai hot peppers, and there were several sitting in a windowsill waiting for him to use them (even grown in NH, they were too hot for me!). The boy saw them, and, being a typical boy, insisted he could eat one, though the girls tried to dissuade him. He drank at least half a gallon of milk trying to wash the heat out of his mouth, and never disbelieved the girls again when they told him he did NOT want to try something!
